They are designed to keep your technical knowledge up to date to help you comply with the ever-changing regulatory environment in the worlds of Financial Reporting and Tax.
They are relevant to all FDs and CFOs, but are particularly aimed at those involved with businesses using IFRS and slightly larger entities using UK GAAP.
