Management Accountants' Week 2024

Management Accountants' Week 2024

19-22 November

Online via MS Teams

Discounts for additional tickets:

When you book your first ticket your booking confirmation email will include a 20% discount code for you to share with colleagues at your own HEP so when the code is used on any additional bookings from the same HEP they will be discounted by 20% (i.e. additional bookings will cost £76 plus VAT when using the code). Therefore, if you have several bookings to make for your HEP, ensure you book a single ticket first, wait for the discount code in the confirmation email and then book the other tickets. If you are likely to have several bookings from your HEP, please co-ordinate this process before any bookings are made if possible, to avoid the need for refunds as much as possible.
