Join us for our annual conference for interesting lectures and networking.

The weekend is a great opportunity to gain valuable CPD at a competitive price. Over the weekend you will receive the equivalent of four half-day courses. It is aimed at partners, managers, and seniors in independent practices. As well as hearing from our expert lecturers you will have the chance to connect with them and other practitioners throughout the weekend.

Conference information

Many of the topics have been suggested by delegates who have attended previous Redworth conferences as well as the NorSCA CPD programme. Also, Rebecca Benneyworth will answer delegates’ specific tax questions in her popular “Rebecca on Request” slot on Sunday morning. You can be sure that the conference will meet your business and professional needs, as well as those of your staff.

Topic are likely to include:

  • Surviving HMRC Investigations
  • Triennial Review of FRSs
  • Later Life Advice
  • Stress in the workplace
  • Cyber Security
  • Employment law
  • The latest on MTD
  • GDPR – where are we now
  • Tax Updates inc. R&D
  • Rebecca on request
  • Accounts disclosures
  • Practice matters

As well as the lectures there is an excellent social aspect to the weekend, with delegates and speakers mingling during the free periods. You can benefit from lots of advice from the speakers, as well as comparing notes with other practitioners.

As this is our 25th year at Redworth we plan to have some extra treats for those attending. If you’ve never attended on a residential basis before this could be the year to do so!

Spouses/partners of delegates are more than welcome to attend on a dinner, bed and breakfast basis.
