Beyond Accounting
Beyond Accounting is CAW Network USA’s conference series where we present ideas, technology and trends impacting the accounting professional
About Beyond Accounting Series
Our first in person event was on 30th April 2019 in New York, near Grand Central. This was followed by a virtual conference on 19th November 2020, when we also rebranded from the Association of Chartered Accountants in the US (ACAUS) to Chartered Accountants Worldwide USA. In 2021 we held 6 mini-conferences partnering with our funding home institutes. In 2022 we have again been partnering with our Home Institutes, as well as with Fordham University and other Guest speakers to put on another series of events. We expect to continue this in 2023 and run an in-person conference in New York.

As the pandemic enters its third year, women have faced overwhelming mental and physical challenges in adapting to new realities. They have emerged not only different but, in many ways, stronger, more self-aware, and resilient in supporting their families, employers and wider society. In 2022, women are empowered to have a renewed focus on wellbeing.
Modern slavery is a significant issue worldwide and is pervasive in supply chains. In a time of pressure resulting from rising inflation, supply chain issues, and other spiraling costs, businesses are struggling to keep costs low and find the workers they need. Chartered Accountants need to be aware of this risk and know what to look out for. They also need guidance on how to act.
Part 2 of a two-part series, with the first part having been held on March 31st, 2022.
