Complimentary access to the exclusive virtual GENCFO Academy 5 - 7 November 2024

Chris Argent said in an age where the digital transformation of the finance function is accelerating, staying ahead of the curve was crucial for all accounting professionals. That’s why AAT members will be given complimentary access to the exclusive GENCFO Academy, taking place on 5-7 November.

This three-day virtual event boasts a line up of CPD-accredited learning modules tailored to equip professionals with the skills needed to thrive in the digital realm. Sessions focusing on how to embrace digital tools, new techniques, and strategies, will all help AAT members stay future relevant in a rapidly evolving environment.
