PwC in Northern Ireland
What is the PwC Technical Update Seminar?
It’s official – the Northern Ireland economy is finally in recovery; confidence is rising, growth in 2014 will be twice that of 2013 and we’ve seen a number of initiatives and tax breaks to encourage investment. Unfortunately, business failures are also up, interest rates will soon head in the same direction and changes in regulation are making the compliance landscape more challenging.
In this ‘new normal’ of low growth and rising costs, businesses need to be on top of their game when it comes to market and investment planning, rewarding talent and maximising profit. That’s why PwC’s annual Technical Update Seminar is one of Northern Ireland’s most popular and revisited technical refresher programmes.
We’ll deal with economic prospects for key sectors and the impact of public sector austerity as well as VAT, PAYE and IFRS, with PwC’s experts delivering a Technical Update Seminar that reflects the questions you’ve told us you need answered. Don’t miss it.
Date and venueThe seminar will run from 9.00am to 4.30pm
on Thursday 9 October 2014
at the Hilton Hotel, Templepatrick
