About this session

Richard Sargeant takes another look at some of the intractable and sometimes long standing issues facing the accounting profession to see if they really are such a problem after all.

For the second episode, Richard looks at 'The Problem With… an aging profession”. Globally the accountancy profession is coming under pressure because the age of those within it is steadily climbing; the impact of which is having real consequences on the lives of some older practitioners, and how many younger accountants view their careers and expectations.

Up for discussion this week will be:

  • How an aging ownership is creating a financial trap
  • Client service and meeting the demands of being an accountant today
  • Health and its impact
  • The issue of succession
  • How it is shaping the profession for the next generation
  • Part documentary, part commentary, and undoubtedly a lot of opinion - this is a chance to step away from the day job, and take a look at the profession from another angle.
