2019-20 Lecture Series

Brochure

Derby Society of Chartered Accountants Continuing Professional Development 2019/20 Lecture Series Venue - The Members Lounge, The Pattonair Pavilion, Derbyshire County Cricket Club, Nottingham Road, Derby DE21 6DA Dear Colleague, Welcome to the 2019/20 lecture season. BAD NEWS – Sponsors of the Cricket Club – 3aaa, went bust during the 2018/19 season! GOOD NEWS – Pattonair have stepped in to become lead sponsors, so the Pavilion is now called the Pattonair Pavilion. GOOD NEWS - Bill Telford (for his 25th appearance) and Tim Good (for his 29th appearance), are back! It gives me great pleasure to welcome back to Derby, a couple of speakers who, for various reasons were unable to join us for a while. In fact Tim is contracted for the following season too. BAD NEWS - sadly Bill is retiring at the end of 2019, so this will be his last lecture for the DSCA. GOOD NEWS - Two new faces join us – Jeremy Mindell and Tony Jenkins, both well experienced tax lecturers. Working in conjunction with all the lecturers we have come up with a varied, and hopefully useful, series of lectures for 2019/20. GREAT NEWS – prices down - It gives me great pleasure to announce that, for a number of reasons, we are able to reduce the prices of all our lectures for the foreseeable future. In addition, we will no longer be charging differential rates to non-DSCA attendees. This will make the lectures more competitive than ever. CONTINUING NEWS - As the price reduction hits the fan, I expect a greater booking rate. That means the pressure on booking spaces at the Cricket Club will be even greater. My thanks to those who took the hint last year and did book earlier than they usually do, to ensure their places were secure. As I said last year, the day will come when I have to decline late bookings due to the venue capacity – and I am not in the habit of deliberately upsetting people! I hope you enjoy and benefit from the 2019/20 series of lectures. Best wishes

Date

Times

- SORP Hot Topics. Many practitioners act for entities that have to apply a specialist SORP. This session with Peter will cover a number of the more common questions that we get in relation to SORPs. Peter will consider issues relevant to charities, academy schools, housing associations, LLPs and pension schemes. He will also address issues commonly raised in respect of service charge accounts.

- Practical case studies. Many practitioners are disclosing too much information in sets of accounts prepared under FRS 102 Section 1A and FRS 105. This can lead to sensitive information being filed about private transactions and profitability. At the same time some of the new disclosures are being misinterpreted, resulting in a failure to disclose information that is required by law. We will examine these issues through a series of practical case studies.
