Overview   

Accountancy operates within a context just like any other profession. There is a mindset that associates the career with prosperity and financial stability, and which tends to focus on self - how the personal interests can be served by the profession, rather than what self can do for the profession. 

This webinar seeks to present the case for a world view where accounting professionals give rather than just take from society. It seeks to promote a world view that argues for a more sustainable mindset which focuses on serving by using financial skills to create a better world and, in the process, leave a more enduring legacy centred on protecting the public interest. When there is purpose attached to work, life takes on more meaning, and meaning serves for happier and more fulfilled professionals. 

Constance Kawelenga CA(SA) is presenting this webinar on 11 October 2022 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. during which she takes you through what professional citizenship is and how you can shift your mindset towards the greater good as a corporate citizen.
