On behalf of the Accounting Insight 2016 committee, I would like to invite you for this event of the study association Asset | Accounting & Finance.
The accounting profession is changing! There are many new developments that affect the profession of the current auditor. Lately, the accounting profession is very often in the news; headlines such as ‘The accountants have become cowards, and ‘Longing for the auditor as sparring partner’ are no longer shocking nowadays. Everyone is aware of the changes, but how does this really have impact on the future? Is there even still a future for the audit? Perhaps, in the long run, the current auditor will be entirely redundant. There are innumerable IT innovations going on, but what will be the consequences? Should we be happy with this or will this lead to the extinction of the profession? In addition, a reform plan is being implemented; this also requires in many areas a new approach within the accountancy world. It is important to continue to look to the future and to keep our expectations of the profession realistic. And who said the future will not be better than ever before?
“Everyone is aware of the changes, but how does this really have an impact on the future?”
During the symposium on November 22, will be a discussion about all these changes and reformation. Thus, the future of the audit will be the central theme. After a brief introduction of each statement, they will be discussed one by one by the panel of speakers and the audience. As a committee we are very pleased to introduce the following speakers of the evening: Dr. Nout Wellink (commissioner PwC), Drs. Jan Hommen (commissioner Ahold Delhaize), Drs. Christine Scheper RA (manager AFM), Drs. Johan Hopmans RA (partner Deloitte) and Drs. Martin van Dijke RA (CEO Van Oers). Chairman Prof. Dr. Eddy Vaassen RA, associated with Tilburg University, will lead the evening. Because of their knowledge in the field of accountancy and the experience they have accumulated in their careers, we are convinced that the speakers and the chairman will share very interesting insights with you.
Moreover, this night gives you the opportunity to get in touch with four different accounting firms: KPMG, BDO, Joanknecht & Van Zelst and Wesselman. Before the start of the main event, the audiTTalk will take place in cooperation with these four firms. In this short session you will have the opportunity to get your CV checked and ask all your unanswered questions regarding the accountancy profession and your future role in it.
Do you want to remain one step ahead of your future? Then you should definitely be present at this event! After this evening you will be fully informed with all the actualities within the accounting profession.
