World Congress of Accountants (WCOA) 2018 Sydney

Members of the G100 are invited to take advantage of the unique opportunity the World Congress of Accountants provides both individually and for your teams. This global event will provide the opportunity to not only network with peers from around the world, but to share and debate insights and hear some of the world’s contemporary thought leaders cover topics relevant to business and personal development needs. It is forty‑six years since the WCOA was last held in Australia and it is likely to be a long time before it returns.
