Who will benefit

Whether you have just started in your role as a management accountant or you have a number of years of experience then this event will be of benefit to you. This event will benefit anyone who needs, or may need to give evidence in a court or tribunal, as part of their job description.
 
This one day event will focus on the skills and techniques required to effectively prepare and give evidence on oath and under pressure of cross examination confidently.

Litigation is increasing and management accountants now have every likelihood of having to give evidence in cases such as:

  • employment
  • health and safety
  • fraud
  • money laundering
  • bribery (following the new Bribery Act)
  • disciplinary actions
  • company law and issues concerning copyright, patents etc.

What you can gain

This event is very focused on skills and strategies that help individuals and organisations manage their day to day activities with confidence within the framework of increased litigation being common place.

The skills are highly transferable into the workplace as regards an individual’s ability to impact, influence and persuade both orally and in writing.
