We also make sure that reps from the student committee, the younger members committee, the town group and the joint professions group sit on the committee.
Our meetings act as a forum for sole practitioners to discuss practical issues affecting them.
We meet every 3rd Thursday of the month, except January, July and August.

The group is aimed at those who either specialise in tax or are general practitioners with a special interest in tax. Attendees help each other with practical tax tips they have gleaned and in return seek the advice of others on current client conundrums, all on a no-names and confidential basis. Most (but not all) discussion tends to be about owner-managed businesses.
Venue: Virtual
Time: 6pm to 7.30pm

The Bournemouth Tax Discussion Group was set up twenty years ago by a small group of sole practitioners to provide a means of sharing knowledge and information.
Discussion mainly but not exclusively revolves around tax (In June we had a discussion on the EU referendum) and occasionally we have an external speaker on a subject which is of interest to us as accountants but which may be peripheral to our work, for example we have had a speaker from a payroll agency and another on the subject of Auto Enrolment.
We also have a Google group which we use to communicate between meetings, if we want to tap the experience of the group.
Most of the members are sole practitioners working from home and between them they have extensive knowledge and experience. However, not everyone has the same knowledge and experience which is what makes the group so valuable.
We would welcome new members and you are invited to come to a meeting with no commitment to join, so that you can see what the group offers.
Venue: Virtual
Time: 6.15pm for a 6.45pm start.
Membership fee: £10 for the year

SCASS is run by students for students; the committee is made up of a group of chartered students just like yourself, who meet up once a month to discuss any matters or issues that affect local chartered students. It also works hard to arrange a variety of events for members, a good few of which seem to revolve around alcohol!
As a chartered accountant student, you are automatically a member SCASS and will receive regular communications and details of events from the Committee.
SCASS has four key objectives: to provide support to students on all matters relating to their study and professional development, and on any other issues which affect them as provisional members and students of the ICAEW; to arrange professional, cultural, social and sporting events for students; to represent our students and to act as a channel of communication between SCASS members and ICAEW southern (our local district society), the ICAEW Student Council (ISC) and the ICAEW; to promote ACA training; membership and participation in the activities of ICAEW southern; the ICAEW and the accountancy profession generally.
To find out when and where the next SCASS Committee meeting is, more information on our events or to get involved please visit our Facebook page or our website.
