2019 16th January: Surrey ICB Branch in Guildford

Don’t be limited on company accounts



Surrey ICB Branch in Guildford on Wednesday 16th January.


Paula Veysey-Smith, CFICB, Chair of the Advisory Council and your co-Branch Chair for West Kent will give a talk on compiling a set of company accounts for filing to Companies House and calculating the corporation tax liability.


This is a very popular presentation across the nationwide Branch network as it gives valuable tips to both bookkeepers who either are already doing company accounts or aspire to do so. It is also an accepted learning practice that if you understand what happens to your work after you pass it on you will do it to a better standard. So all bookkeepers will benefit from this talk as it will enable you to do more on the preparation of the trial balance before the accounts are passed to an accountant.


The venue will be the Holiday Inn, Guildford, Surrey.

R is for Reward

The finish line isn't just a destination. It's proof of everything you put in to get there. “Nothing feels so good as when you've succeeded at something you set out to do.” We made it. Seven letters, seven posts, and one very important journey. If you've been following this series from the beginning, you'll know that back in January we started with a goal — a triathlon in July. And as I write this, sitting in the garden with an iced coffee and a medal around my neck, I can tell you: it happened.  R is for Reward. And it might just be my favourite letter of the lot.

E is for Evaluate

Setting a goal is just the beginning. What keeps it alive — and keeps you moving towards it — is what you do in between. “Evaluating what you're doing is so important. What worked, what didn't, what can I do better?” We're six letters into the SMARTER framework now. We've covered Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. Today we reach E for Evaluate — and I'll be honest with you, I think this might be the most important letter of the lot.
