Quality data as a foundation of success

Overview

In this session, Nigel Adams will explain how a focus on data assurance can form the basis of a successful accounting team. By establishing a baseline and maintaining a minimum standard of data quality, you can be proactive with issues as they arise, ultimately improving the output of downstream tasks such as monthly bookkeeping, management reports and VAT returns. He will then provide practical real-world examples and lessons learned when applying this data-first approach, and outline how it has led to major improvements across the board at his award-winning firm, Ad Valorem.
