Overview   

The business strategy we adopt today will determine our future success. The new world order that is emerging from the post-COVID-19 pandemic provides an opportunity for professional accountants to support business enterprises to chart a path to face the future with confidence.  

As a business changes, so does the optimal business structure. We need to get this optimal business structure right, in a cost-effective and efficient way.  

The July 2022 Accountants Tech Talk session facilitated by Caryn Maitland CA(SA) will be dedicated to sharing the tools available to accountants to be able to advise clients, and facilitate enterprise restructuring, acquisitions and disposals. Carmen Westermeyer CA(SA will join Caryn as a co-presenter on this webinar scheduled for 14 July 2022 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.
