Short version of MACPA's popular PIU (Professional Issues Updates) which is part of our 24 hour free CPE offerings to members.
This slide deck covers the mega-trends and issues beyond the technical updates identified in the CPA Horizons 2025 Project. It covers leadership in the future and updates the original CPA Vision 2011 Project
Technology and social media have changed how we communicate, and financial education in the workplace is important. Education should engage employees, be easily distributed, tax advantaged, fun, and convenient. It is also important to empower employees and make education independent and trusted. Employee engagement should be a central marketing strategy, as positive employee relationships can be long lasting while negative ones can be lost quickly. Pensions are complex subjects to discuss, and intermediaries have made explanations more complicated. Technology may help simplify pensions and financial decisions.
The document discusses three things that could cause economic failure if unchanged: 1) private student loans and tougher lending standards, 2) high unemployment, and 3) decrease in GDP. It provides issues and proposed solutions for each.

This document discusses enterprise governance and its importance for IT systems. It defines governance as the act of governing and decision making framework for an enterprise. Effective governance anticipates the needs of both business and IT teams. Governance involves creating guidelines that services must comply with to ensure high quality, predictable services. Strict governance standards can increase a company's profits by 10-20% and attract more investors. The aviation industry is provided as an example of how governance ensures aircrafts are built reliably through strict rules. Governance in IT focuses on policies, processes, and people roles. It is important to define policies, apply them at design time, and monitor compliance at runtime.
The key to successful enterprise embrace change with easeShoaib Raees
This document defines an inventor as someone who creates something new and an innovator as someone who brings something new to business. It provides examples of famous entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Aqeel karim dhedhi, Sultana Siddiqui, Muhammad Yunus, and Junaid Jamshed.

Sysdoc’s Chart, Challenge, Change™ is a unique improvement methodology.
It enables the organisation to fix inefficient or broken processes and to deliver business improvement which is continuous and sustainable. It can be applied to fix individual problem areas, or as part of a larger program.
The document discusses the key factors for successful enterprises and embracing change. An entrepreneur organizes and manages a business undertaking to earn a profit. Success requires personal entrepreneur character, clear objectives, effective planning, powerful decisions, business support, good marketing and customer service, and quality improvement. Key areas that determine success are marketing, finance, production, distribution, research and development, and regulations. Reasons for business failure include lack of money, support, and knowledge. Change is important for growth, maintaining competitiveness, and achieving agility. Successful enterprises embrace rather than resist change.
How to Become a Thought Leader in Your NicheLeslie Samuel
Are bloggers thought leaders? Here are some tips on how you can become one. Provide great value, put awesome content out there on a regular basis, and help others.
The document discusses research from the Enterprise Research Centre (ERC) on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the UK. The ERC aims to understand what drives SME productivity and growth to support the UK economy. The research identified three types of firms - those that fail fast, sustain with modest growth, and sustain long-term with strong growth. It also found that leadership and management skills influence SME adoption of best practices and shape business performance. The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses programme was shown to increase participating businesses' growth by 10-25% compared to non-participants.
UKTI Global Entrepreneur Programme brochure V6Amanda Lennon
The document is a brochure about the UK Trade & Investment's Global Entrepreneur Programme (GEP). The GEP helps accelerate overseas technology entrepreneurs and early-stage companies to global success by basing them in the UK. It leverages internationally successful entrepreneurs as "dealmakers" to provide strategic support, connections, and has helped over 200 companies raise over $200 million. The brochure provides an overview of the GEP's services and success in helping entrepreneurs realize their potential and scale internationally from a UK hub.
The Voice of Australian Business is a long term research project that follows and explores the mindset, needs, expectations and concerns of the Small to Medium (SME) business environment in Australia. The survey is conducted online with business owners, ‘C’ suite or Directors (decision makers) who are remunerated for their time. The survey has been carried out twice a year since 2014 and each survey examines key areas of SME concerns yet retains lines of questioning around business confidence, growth and technology.
This is the fIfth ‘Voice’ survey and the data represents what SMEs are telling us.
Goldman Sachs is committed to supporting small businesses and economic growth through its 10,000 Small Businesses initiative. This initiative provides practical business education, support services, and access to capital for small business owners in the UK and US. The program aims to help small businesses create jobs and economic growth. It is delivered through academic partners and includes workshops, business advising, networking opportunities, and a community of alumni business owners. Participants develop a business growth plan and the program has proven successful, with graduates growing revenue faster and creating more jobs than similar small businesses. The document provides details on the program components, eligibility, and impact.

and not only
want to succeed
themselves but are

to succeed
68. Consider everything
on its merits
Attach little weight to
reputations or past-actions
“Experience is only useful so
much as the past is like the
future!”
Gary Hamel
75. Remember,
The price of failure
is nearly always more
than the price of success
“If it‟s to be it‟s up to me”
Lou Getz
76. If you think its
impossible, it isn‟t.
If you think you
know everything,
you don‟t.
If you think you‟re alone,
you‟re not.
Jim Rohn

wrong thing to
a high quality is
pointless.
Do things right and
do the right things”
Peter Drucker
There are numerous paths to success but there is no right way to do the wrong thing
78. “Its not like we
make fundamental
changes to the way
we do things all the
time, but we do make
tweaks”
Allan Lyall, Amazon

only the first step.
It must be followed
by hard work, a regime
of mental exercise, and
whatever it takes to bring
out peak performance”
Napolean Hill „Think and Grow Rich‟
80. “You can‟t have
worthwhile work
unless everyone is
working toward a well
understood and shared
goal. But that‟s not enough.
It matters how you reach the
goal. You must be guided by
values. You have to be proud of
both the goal and how you get
there” Ken Blanchard & Sheldon Bowles “Gung-Ho!”
81. “The main
thing is to
keep the main
thing the
main thing!”
Stephen Covey – “First Things First”
85. Succinctly,
“Everyone wants
to go to heaven,
but nobody wants
to die” Joe Louis
Remember, To accomplish anything worthwhile, you must pay the price
