Upcoming Workshops
For 2010, David Parmenter has confirmed speaking events in a number of countries. A full list is available here.
Corporate accountants are running teams that have procedures more akin with Charles Dickens that the 21st century. Whilst many organisations in the USA have been investing in technology and appropriate tools to create truly paperless accounting, many of us have watched, as if disinterested or more likely confused. What is appropriate? What should I implement?
The guessing is now over. David Parmenter is back to inform, entertain and push us to accept and embrace this technology.
Far too often the accountants spend all their time and resources implementing yet another GL which at best generates little or no decision based information. These monies need to be reinvested systems that will generate greater value for the accounting team and their in-house clients – the budget holders(BHs) and senior management team.
The lack of appreciation of system enhancements will, if it has not already, become career limiting for corporate accountants. This workshop will chart the pathway blazed ahead by far seeing corporate accountants both in Australia and abroad.
