Description

Being an accountant in today’s environment is a challenge! Our clients are faced with many dilemmas and temptations to stray off the right path as they try to survive in these difficult times. 

We have a huge responsibility to our clients, the profession and ourselves to be held accountable to the highest ethical standards and to instil trust and respect for our advice and guidance. These ideas flow and develop from the personal space, to how we conduct our business and are mantled by our professional responsibilities in terms of the respective professional body’s Code of Professional Conduct.  

This session is designed to give you space to reflect on your own personal journey, and consider what you are striving for during these difficult times, as well as what you won’t tolerate. Who we are as a person is not separate from who we are as a professional – a concept to be explored during this session.
