Join us next Tuesday 14 April, at the usual time of 9:00 AM and 22:00 PM London time, BST, and share your experience of the challenge of working from home

All accounting network and association are welcome to join us for our next Zoom call, on Tuesday, 14 April,

All over the world, many of you in CPAAI and MGI Worldwide are now working remotely from home and likely will be for many weeks to come.

As the initial flurry of activity of adjusting and focusing on helping your clients is coming to an end, you may be starting to get into a routine.

Working from home is not easy to adapt to. You may have your family all around you and be trying to create a quiet working space for yourself. You might be alone, dealing with your separation from friends and loved ones.  The work challenges are also there - technical problems, access to information and support, coordination, supervision.

We talk about some of the professional and psychological issues in our Coronavirus Hub. If you don't have a login to see this, please email Emma at [email protected], who will give you access.

We especially welcome less senior members of staff - we want to hear your opinions

This is not just for partners and directors. Your opinions, experience and suggestions are really important. We are all learning - from the top to the bottom of all our firms. Most of all, we are learning from each other and know we are not alone in the wider world. Please feel free to invite any of your colleagues to join us.

See some new faces and get to know collegues around the world in a similar situation! This is informal, many of us have family in the room, so don't be shy! We recommend using headphones or earphones if you can but it is not essential.

Zoom Links & Passwords - IMPORTANT

See the timetable below. The webinar will be repeated to allow all time zones to take part. 

To access the webinar, visit the Coronavirus (COVID-19) hub - resources and updates page in the Member Area where you will find the full list of the weekly 'drop-in' Zoom calls with times, links and required passwords.
