Overview 

Tech is changing many old ways of doing things. Every sector of the economy (including our accounting and auditing space) is being transformed in one way or the other by new advances in technology.

No longer should the question to automation be "Should we?". Everyone looking to survive into the future should be asking themselves "When and how?"

Our answer to the latter is NOW!

In this webinar we are bringing together five players in our industry who are revolutionising the way we work:

1. Draftworx - a fully integrated, automated drafting and working paper suite that is highly flexible, easy to learn and use, and guarantees full compliance with accounting and auditing standards as well as requirements of the CIPC and SARS.
2. InfoDocs - automates your company secretarial processes, including resolutions passed by the board of directors, in a fraction of the time.
3. IPMG - offers business consulting solutions, ICT consulting solutions, assistance with the implementation of technology solutions and outsourced CIO services.
4. Practice Ignition - speeds up the client engagement process and makes the process of signing up new clients a breeze.
5. Receipt Bank - helps you fetch financial data automatically and use smart tools to analyse tax, payment timing and talk to your clients about cashflow, all in real time.

Join our presenters on 3 November 2020 from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. as they show you how they can change your fortunes through automation. What's even better is that you will be shown how you can integrate all four applications to create a super-efficient practice.
