“Chartered Accountants ANZ will strengthen our efforts by strategically boosting our marketing activities in programme development and engagement with potential exhibitors. We are certain that this will deliver the best possible education to a wider audience” Mr Smith said.

Chartered Accountants ANZ’s Head of Education Jason Dale said that working with Smithink 2020 will facilitate new opportunities to deliver education to accountants in practice, assisting them to position their business for success.

He said: “Technology is as disruptive in the accounting space as it is in other areas.  With cloud accounting, offshoring, technology development by regulators and enhanced software tools all impacting the operation of accounting businesses, we are facing a significant shift in how accountants operate. ATSA 2015 will be an invaluable event highlighting the impact that technology will have on the profession and the things that accountants need to know now to prepare them for the future”.
