About the course

Accountancy practices strive to achieve standards of excellence within a highly competitive and heavily regulated profession. This means that their accountants must carry out their work with a high level of skill and diligence, and be committed to attaining and maintaining this excellence.

This course looks at what it takes to run a high-quality practice, by assembling the best team, establishing standards of excellence in management and audit, and maintaining excellence, by making the most of CPD to stay current with the frequent changes in standards and develop the skills and competencies of the whole team.
