Workshop

What is the workshop?

These practical and outcome-oriented workshops will take you through the MY FIRM. MY FUTURE. framework and help you develop a future focus plan. You can learn from experienced facilitators and extend your professional network as you learn new skills.

Face-to-face workshops are conducted across Australia only, but our virtual classroom series is available for all eligible members throughout the year, regardless of their location.

You should only register to attend a workshop if you're a CPA or FCPA.

Workshop overview

The public practice workshop is interactive and facilitator led. It's designed to help you gain the skills, knowledge and professional approach required to develop a successful career in public practice.

The program delivers four main objectives:

• to introduce you to the My Firm. My Future. Framework
• to understand and articulate the fundamentals of the four ‘Enablers’ of the My Firm. My Future. Framework
• to apply strategies to address the strategic ‘Drivers’ of the My Firm. My Future. Framework
• to develop a Future Focus Plan that will support the development of a successful business.

The workshop is organised into dedicated discussion topics. A key aspect of the program is gaining exposure to members already in practice. Our presenters will encourage discussion, so you can have the opportunity to learn from their experience.

CPD hours

You can claim up to 16 CPD hours if you attend the entire face-to-face workshop, or 13.5 CPD hours for the virtual classroom series.
