Building on the success of the company’s annual User Group meeting in South
Africa, where over 1000 users attending the event held in November last year,
CaseWare Africa will be bringing  these
free to attend User Group forums to Nigeria and Kenya in February 2016.

“Today, the only certainty in the world’s economies and business markets,
is change. Of late we have been reminded of the ‘trickle-down’ impact that
macroeconomic influences have on even the most sophisticated or fastest growing
economies in Africa,” says Theuns Holtshousen, Divisional Business Leader:
Africa, CaseWare Africa. “Where the financial profession is no different. In
fact, in addition to looking at adapting to ongoing market challenges, this
profession – including financial officers, accountants and auditors – are faced
with numerous other changes; in standards, regulations and new ways of working
and there can be no doubt that the profession needs to adapt to thrive.”
It is with this in mind that CaseWare Africa will be hosting events in
Nigeria and Kenya during the month of February 2016 and implores all users, or
businesses and practices that are considering adopting a software solution, to
attend the User Group forums.
Under the banner of “transformation” CaseWare Africa will be hosting
separate sessions targeted at accounting and auditing practitioners, and
business financial professionals.
Holtshousen indicates that the CaseWare Africa User Groups brings together
industry leaders, technology innovators and peers in accounting and auditing,
all of whom are passionate about the industry and creating sustainable and
profitable practices and businesses all over the continent.
“The financial professional is changing. Today, financial offices and
practitioners, alike, are expected to focus on more than just the numbers and
have to demonstrate value through strategic focus on the client or business’
forward moving objectives.”
“With this change, comes more pressure and responsibility to not only
prepare financial statements and monthly management reports, but to interpret
the information and advise the client or business towards meeting the strategic
end objectives. Because we understand both the challenges and opportunities
presented by this changing role, we use these User Group forums to dive into
the details on how practices and financial departments need to transform now,
so they can win in the future – and how technology is undoubtedly driving this
change.”
To put this in perspective; today one of the biggest challenge for the financial
profession across Africa is how to best balance compliance requirements, while
still managing workflow and skilling teams. “Our User Group forums are designed
specifically around the users – accounting and auditing practitioners and the
corporate market, alike – and are built around helping our users reduce the
overhead of compliance.”
“From these forums, we want to ensure that all users get the most out of
the technology, so they can spend less time on compiling financial statements
and more time interpreting the information to help differentiate their
business. This is why we have made these forums free to attend, so that all
financial professionals can access these forums and benefit from the insights
that will be provided,” concludes Holtshousen.
