Location: Carrowbreck House, 7 Carrowbreck Road, Norwich, NR6 5FA Over the past 2 years, the accounting profession has seen one of the biggest changes in management information systems since the introduction of spreadsheets. This has arisen as a result of on-going technological advances across the globe and the increased demand for real time data. The use of online accounting software has increased exponentially and the benefits of using online solutions are numerous. Duration: 9:30am – 12:30pm Equipment: Pens and note paper will be available.

This allows quicker management reporting at your fingertips. Some providers allow the data to be accessed across a platform of devices including iPads and iPhones. • Automation – Several of the cloud solutions now support bank feeds so that your bank transactions can automatically download directly into your software which can reduce processing time and eliminate errors. Reduced data entry can mean your scan your invoices in or take photos and the app will do the rest for you, instead of keying them in one by one. • Remote working – Without the need to access the data on a specific PC, we’ve seen an uptake in remote working, where bookkeepers can work away from their own office or even at home. With the pace of modern life, it can be essential that accounts are accessible anywhere. • Program updates and review – You will always be using the most up to date version of the software, and you won’t need to buy yearly program updates.

The emerging science of Behavioural Economics is increasing our understanding of the way we make decisions. This knowledge is helping businesses develop more profitable models, regulators more effective controls and governments more efficient incentives.
This session will look at the theories underpinning the science and consider some of the more common decision errors.
As we go through the session, we’ll consider how the ideas we’re discussing influence reactions to climate change and the extent behavioural economics can both explain the worrying, and growing, backlash against climate commitments and perhaps offer solutions.
By the end of the seminar you will have a greater insight into the ways a gentle nudge may be more effective than a hefty shove!
