Chartered
Accountants ANZ and Smithink have also undertaken to work toward a
broader strategic partnership to explore future opportunities to deliver
leading edge business educational programmes, conferences and events
for accountants in public practice.
Smithink’s
founding Director, David Smith said that Smithink is pleased to be
working with Chartered Accountants ANZ to further develop the ATSA
event, which was attended by over 550 people in 2014 with over 45
exhibitors.
“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”.
