Opportunities for women in accounting have only expanded over the last few years. While historically, leadership positions have been rather homogeneous – much like other tech-heavy industries – these organizations are starting to rethink how they’re structured, hiring, and leveraging technology to drive growth. They’re even starting to be led by a more diverse group of people.In this session, Colleen and her colleagues Erin Leckie and Cathy Rowe talk about their career journeys, ups and downs, and how to take charge of your own career growth.

Data-driven approaches to audit and assurance are a hot topic, but what does that mean in everyday approaches to how we execute the work and the technologies we use. We discussed why an efficient audit is more important than ever and how a data driven approach including data ingestion, data analytics and data visualization are the keys to success. We also discussed why firms still need to be in the driver's seat and not leave everything to technology. How a pragmatic and flexible approach to both methodology and tool usage is so important to ensuring your firm can still demonstrate distinct value to your clients.
