Live Online Webinars

Our live online sessions (also known as webinars) provide directors located anywhere in Australia and the world with the opportunity to access expert knowledge on specific topics. These live web presentations happen in real time and are facilitated by practicing directors with specific expertise in the topic.

Participants can access the webinar from any location with a computer that has Internet access and headphones or speakers, and their questions and comments are addressed live through an interactive 'chat' function. These webinars are short (1–2 hours), sharp and straight to the point.

A number of topics will be featured, including:

  • Finance - signing off accounts
