June. Accountants for Business: Golden Age of Profession? (Vilnius. Lithuania)
On June 3, 2010, the Roundtable “Accountants for Business: Golden Age of Profession?” dedicated to 10th Anniversary of Lithuanian Chamber of Auditors (LAR) organized jointly by LAR and ACCA was held in Vilnius, Lithuania.
“Accountants for business” was ACCA’s theme for 2009-10. One of the hallmarks of sustainable enterprise is a strong finance function. Organisations, whether in public or private sectors, benefit strongly from the discipline that comes with financial management, and the embedding of financial awareness within the organisation from the most senior, board level, down to the most junior staff.
In choosing this theme, ACCA wished to set out an agenda for business which puts sound financial management at its heart. It wishes to highlight new ways in which accountants can position themselves at the heart of business life.
The Roundtable moderator was Dr. Nataliya Vovchuk, Head of ACCA Ukraine, Baltic and Caucasus States.
