MAPs Reports WebinarMAP Survey - The Benchmark to Improve Practice Performance
Presenters : Caryn Maitland CA(SA) , Earl Steyn , Paul De Vantier
Overview
The accounting profession has experienced major environmental changes and traditional theories of strategy predict that firms need to adapt to their external environment. This requires that firms continually evaluate and re-align their organisational capabilities in order to ensure long-term survival.
The only way that small firms can achieve this is by having access to market data. The SA Accounting Academy’s Management of an Accounting Practice (MAP) Survey, now in its third iteration, is the only survey of its kind that provides an in-depth analysis of how small and medium accounting firms are managed in South Africa. This survey’s results provide answers to some of the most pressing questions asked by practitioners:
-
What is the best method to obtain new clients?
-
What are the average fees charged for typical services?
-
What are benchmark staff costs?
-
Are there technology trends that practice owners need to be aware of?
-
What are the best client management techniques?
