Director Training

ATTENDEES

Exclusively for Partners & Directors of our member firms and their families. It offers an invaluable opportunity not only to update technical skills in topics such as audit Standards, tax and advisory skills, but also non-technical skills like leadership and teamwork. Above all, the course provides outstanding networking opportunities to mix with Partners from other accounting firms in a non-competing environment, and share war stories and learning points.

We are working on the agenda which will be distributed to member firms once finalised. The agenda will include our “usual” sessions on Auditing Standards, Case Studies, Process and Practices, Income Tax, Superannuation and Soft Skill Sessions. If you have any suggestions on topics,  please email acatg@hlbnsw.com.au by 31 January 2025.
