“The usual and now expected exceptional quality of this annual course (Annual IFRS Update) continues. I have used plenty of tips and insights to improve my organisation’s statutory accounts from this course over the years. Will always recommend SESCA courses to my colleagues, and certainly those presented by Guy (Loveday).”

“As usual, Neil (Owen) has delivered an interesting and informative VAT course with comprehensive notes and excellent presentation, both verbally and visually. Twelve VAT case studies, all very different, with unexpected outcomes and the reasons why HMRC made their decisions. I was absolutely riveted to my screen!”

“This was an excellent course (More Power to Your Pivot with Simon Hurst) with very good material. It was particularly good in this format as there was a lot of information and it explained a lot of features of excel and so it was good to have the ability to pause the presentation at various points to allow to practice and take them on board.”
