Programme of Events 2016

CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT2

I am delighted to introduce the 2016 ACCA Ireland Programme of Events.

We have designed this programme to meet your CPD training needs and I hope you will take the opportunity to attend some of the many courses and events during the year.

I am sure you are aware of the importance of networking and I hope you will take the advantage of the many ACCA events to meet your fellow members. I would also encourage you to use the various events as an opportunity to engage with ACCA, and perhaps consider participating in one of the member networks throughout the country.

The programme has been developed by your fellow members in consultation with the Members’ Services team at ACCA Ireland and I would like to thank you all for your on-going participation and support.

I am proud to serve as your Chairman and I look forward to meeting you at some of these events.

I wish you every success in 2016.
