Event summary

The practice management course will provide an opportunity to understand the responsibilities of a member in practice but also to consider issues which affect practice management more generally. You’ll be given an opportunity to get connected to a network of like-minded and similar stage members and get to know those within ICAS who are able to offer you support in this new stage of your career.

It is a mandatory condition of obtaining a practising certificate from ICAS to undertake training which covers the following learning outcomes within 12 months (before or after) of a practising certificate being granted:

Understand regulatory landscape a PC holder operates in
Appreciate the essential responsibilities of being a PC holder
Recognise the key financial performance factors of a CA firm
Have knowledge of key challenges facing CA firms and the opportunities that they present

This course allows you to satisfy that requirement.

Key themes and topics

This course will follow a classroom and workshop format. The sessions will be an engaging collaborative manner of learning:

Basics of going into practice
Practice Regulation
PII claims and how to avoid them
AML Compliance
Practice Management and Development

Who’s this for?

Practising Certificate holders
Anyone considering becoming a PC holder and interested in finding out more about what their responsibilities would be. Anyone attending the course and subsequently being granted a PC within 12 months of attendance will be deemed to have met the attendance requirement conditional to the PC grant.
