( Social Media and the Profession

“Recent surveys by various accounting bodies around the world found three out of four accountantssurveyed have a social media presence. Given this level of involvement, it’s worth rememberingthat social media has the potential to involve accountants in ethical and professional challenges..”

Whats app, Face book,Twitter,Instagram etc

• Be cautious when communicating with non-client stakeholders .

• Do not disclose confidential information.

• Beware of inadvertently creating accountant-client relationships .

• Understand cautiously with testimonials, endorsements, and ratings .

( DIGITAL ECONOMY

• The digital transformation is the greatest opportunity

• Risk of marginalization or reduced relevance for the profession.

• The digital transformation is the greatest opportunity for profession in the form of challenge.

• The profession must recalibrate, itself to be more relevant to the businesses by providingvalue added services, newer financial reporting’s, newer avenues in form of Forensic Audit,Information Risk Management, Analytics etc in addition to digitizing processes of Accountingand assurance framework

( Finding Time – The 80:20 Rule

) How do we find time for these new opportunities when our hands are full with our existingclientele?

) The answer is simple. Apply the Pareto’s Principle or the 80:20 Rule

) In our understanding of the client structure of a CA firm, we find that 80% of the clients, take80% of our time and contributing to 20% of our fee component

) While the remaining 20% contribute towards 80% of our fee collection

) What if we can take spare some time from the 80% clientele category?

( Challenges in Professional Practice

) Retaining clients – especially those clients growing big

) Need to upgrade knowledge (CPE)

) Peer Review/FRRB/Disciplinary proceedings

) Greed to increase volume of work at any cost

) Inadequate training in fees charging matter and past precedence of older firms

) Rapidly increasing costs (Availability of low paid staff - Articles, B.Com, etc. is reducing rapidly)

( Practice Improvement Areas

) Plug Revenue Leakages (Certification, Oral advisory on phone / meeting etc.,)

) Make Products of Services (Preparation of Manuals, Company Formation, Compliance audits,etc.)

) Systemize work procedures in writing

) Job assignment should be clear to the CA and the client by documenting it in the quotation /engagement letter to avoid unpleasant expectation gaps.

) Quote fees for work only after proper analysis of work, time & man power required
