Corporate sector network
The Corporate Sector Network comprises approximately 20,000 members across the UK, from construction to travel/leisure, via IT/communications, retail and SMEs. Activities to support its members include:
ACCA On-Line Discussion Forum
ACCA UK has launched a new on-line discussion forum and we would like to invite you to get involved and have your say. Taking part is easy please click here and follow the instructions and steps to quickly register your details to participate. Taking part gives you a voice and unlimited opportunity to share experiences with and gain information from fellow members working in similiar organisations.
I hope this discussion will lead to a better understanding of SME issues and to increase support of members, to supplement the work the ACCA has already done in this area.
ACCA and small business
If you are a small business or interested in starting up a small business then ACCA has put together some handy tips and factsheets which you will find useful. Go to the small business section of the website.
Credit Management Matters
Cashflow is critical to business survival but all too often the day to day challenge of running a business, particularly a smaller business, can mean losing sight of some of the skills for successful cashflow management. This series of guides, developed in partnership with the Institute of Credit Management, is part of a series of initiatives providing practical support to help businesses help themselves through these difficult times. They are designed to provide straightforward and speedy advice with simple checklists and top tips. To view the series please click here.
Events/CPD
The Network organises 8 events on behalf of its members per year. The majority are held in London, with the remainder across the country.
Attendance at these events is free but, as places are limited, you should book in advance to avoid disappointment. These events will constitute verifiable Continuing Professional Development (CPD) if the content is relevant to an individual's personal development plan. Please click here to view these events.
ACCA UK also organises a detailed programme of CPD courses for members in the corporate sector. Call 020 7059 5910 to request a brochure or visit Professional Courses on-line.
Magazine
Corporate Sector Review is normally published four times per year and mailed automatically to Corporate Sector Network members. Corporate Sector Review will soon be replaced by A&B magazine which will have specific pages dedicated to the Corporate Sector. The last edition of Corporate Sector Review will be mailed to members by mid May.
For past editions please visit the Corporate Sector Review pages.
Facilities/Services
ACCA UK has negotiated a number of special rates on products and services which benefit its members.

The Network is guided by an elected Panel of members - Corporate Sector Network Panel, which works closely with a permanent member of staff at ACCA.
