Kathryn Burns & Jonathan McGee of the Mercia Ireland group will present this popular annual review of what is topical in the world of auditing and practice.
This is usually a one-day update emphasising the practical rather than the technical, and in this unique year, it will consist of 2 sessions of 3 hours each, involving both speakers, and will be presented as an online Mercia Live event with opportunities to ask questions.
This course deals with the major changes affecting practitioners in 2020 and those likely to impact in 2021.
