Welke rol speelt de accountant binnen uw bedrijf?
Wietsma, J.
Tijdschrift Administratie, 2014
Het accountantsberoep staat regelmatig volop in de schijnwerpers. De oorzaken daarvan zijn divers. Soms gaat het over de gevolgen van digitalisering voor het accountantsberoep, soms over de kwaliteit van de accountantsdiensten en weer een andere keer over vermeende betrokkenheid van accountants bij zogenoemde witte-boorden-misdrijven. Door deze ontwikkelingen wordt de accountant gedwongen na te denken over zijn toekomstige positie en zal hij keuzes moeten maken. Dat dit ook gevolgen heeft voor u en uw relatie met uw accountant is evident. In dit artikel treft u een overzicht van de ontwikkelingen in de accountancybranche en de mogelijke gevolgen die dit heeft voor uw organisatie.
Bemensing van het accountantskantoor: Kies je karakters AN dag 2014Jan Wietsma
8 slides•474 views
Waarom is het ene accountantskantoor succesvoller dan het andere? Dat hangt samen met de diversiteit aan karakters in het kantoor. Bestaat de bemensing van een accountantskantoor allemaal uit look alikes bestaat dan gaat het niet goed. Een accountantskantoor dat louter en alleen uit ‘ondernemers’ bestaat maakt er waarschijnlijk een rommeltje van. Een kantoor dat louter en alleen bemensd wordt door vakmannen en –vrouwen is ook niet ideaal. Het goede kantoor combineert eigenschappen en zorgt voor diversiteit. Naast de ondernemer en de vakman/vrouw staat dan ook de vertrouwenspersoon en de innovator. Hoe stelt u het juiste team samen?

Zakendoen in de nieuwe economieWietsma, J.Tijdschrift Administratie, 2014Begin dit jaar werd het boek Zakendoen in de nieuwe economie Zeven vensters op succes gekozen tot managementboek van het jaar 2014. Hierin legt de auteur Marga Hoek uit hoe organisaties en individuen een bijdrage kunnen leveren aan een nieuwe en duurzame economie. Nu is er over een duurzame economie al heel wat geschreven. In veel gevallen ging het om visionaire verhalen. in andere gevallen ging het vaak over triviale zaken. Wat ontbrak was de samenhang. Het is een verdienste van Marga Hoek dat zij die samenhang aanbrengt, waardoor het boek ook voor administrateurs zeer lezenswaardig is. Daarbij zet het aan tot denken over de wijze waarop het bedrijf waarvoor u werkt een bijdrage zou kunnen leveren aan het inrichten van die nieuwe economie.
