by 
Hannah Driver
· Updated
Feb 24, 2021

You’re a Clerk or RFO and you’re in charge of getting the Year-end Accounts and Audit right.

Easy, hey?

Well, not so fun fact: There are complicated rules which you must adhere to for compliance. Plus getting the Year End closed can take ages...

So why does it take me so long to balance the bank, get the reports right, ensure the VAT is correct and complete the AGAR?

That’s where our Head Trainer, Hannah Driver, the support accountant at Scribe Accounts, comes in.

She’s been training Council Accounting for nearly three years… and actually gets the pain Clerks go through at Year End.

Hannah’s systematic approach will eliminate your Year End suffering...

Want to learn her ways?

Check out our training session below! 

During this Live Training Class you’ll discover…

-Closing the accounts

-Debtors and creditors

-Assets and borrowing

-Internal audit

-Reviewing internal control

-The Annual Return

-Electors rights

-Publication requirements

This Masterclass is for you if…

-You’re a new or existing Clerk/RFO and you have no idea how to tackle the Year End Labyrinth

-You scraped through Year End last year and need to ACT NOW to prevent history repeating itself
