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.
