SUMMARY:Beyond Accounting: The Coming of the 5th Industrial Revolution
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]July 28th 2026 at 12.00pm Eastern / 9.00am Pacific / 5.00pm UK \nCAW Network USA invites you to attend this exciting online event focusing on discussing the Coming of the 5th Industrial Revolution. Our first session (presentation) runs for about 45 minutes. We will follow this by introducing our moderator and additional panelist\, who will join Gerard for the second session (panel discussion) of about 45 minutes\, which can also include any audience Q&A. The second session will focus on tying back the initial presentation to its impact on the accounting profession. Total time including introduction and polls 90 minutes. \nThis presentation will cover: \n\nLearning objectives for The 5th Industrial Revolution shifts the accounting industry from pure efficiency first automation to values-first human-machine collaboration and sustainability.\nValues-First Over Efficiency-First: While the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) focused heavily on digitizing data and optimizing costs\, 5IR expands the scope to include environmental impact\, human well-being\, and income inequality.\nStakeholder Capitalism: The metric for success broadens from pure shareholder wealth to broader stakeholder value\, pushing sustainability to the forefront of corporate reporting.\nA key enabler for the above is energy and a focus on energy and energy security is both an opportunity and a constraint. The biggest firms driving the Stock market boom (at least in the USA) are all involved and betting on data centers and AI which in turn have huge energy requirements.\n\nThis will be followed by a panel discussion of the key items and priorities arising. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES: \nBy the end of today’s session\, attendees will have achieved the following objectives: \n\nUnderstand that the 5th Industrial Revolution is adding to the 4th Industrial Revolution\nUnderstand its opportunities and threats\nUnderstand the impact of energy supply volatility and energy security\nUnderstand the importance of the impact of broader stakeholder value\nUnderstand how environment\, human well-being and inequalities are becoming key requirements\n\nFor more information please contact chiefexecutive@cawnetusa.wpenginepowered.com \nFIELD OF STUDY: Personal Development \nPREREQUISITES: No prerequisite provided attendees are qualified CAs and/or CPAs or similar finance professionals / students. \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND: Open to members and associates of CAW Network USA and their guests. \nADVANCE PREPARATION: Not required \nPROGRAM LEVEL: Basic \nDELIVERY METHOD: Group Internet \nREFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for members or guests \nCOMPLAINT RESOLUTION POLICY: For more information regarding refund\, complaint and/or program cancellation policies (as relevant)\, please contact chiefexecutive@cawnetusa.wpenginepowered.com \nEligible for up to 1.5 CPE credits[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”Click here to register” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fcawnetworkusa.com%2Fevent%2Fbeyond-accounting-the-coming-of-the-5th-industrial-revolution%2F|title:click%20here%20to%20register%20for%20beyond%20accounting”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Difference Makers Discuss - Kingsley Aikins\, Good work doesn't speak for itself... But you can!
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nHave you ever been told to keep your head down\, work hard\, and let your good work speak for itself? It sounds like solid advice. It’s also\, according to Kingsley Aikins\, pretty much the worst career guidance you can get. \nIn this episode of Difference Makers Discuss\, host Sinéad Donovan sits down with Kingsley Aikins\, author of Networking Matters (published by Chartered Accountants Ireland)\, founder of the iconic Lansdowne Club in Sydney\, and the man who spent 21 years building one of the world’s great philanthropic networks for Ireland. The conversation is warm\, honest\, and packed with practical wisdom that will make you rethink how you approach your career and your connections. \nFrom Rugby Pitches to the Waldorf Astoria\nKingsley’s story is a masterclass in the unexpected power of relationships. From playing rugby for Leinster to landing in Sydney not knowing a single soul\, to running a dinner for 12 people that became the largest Irish business network in any city in the world — his journey is proof that putting yourself out there\, even imperfectly\, changes everything. \nHe even wrote a cold letter to Tony O’Reilly — one of Ireland’s most powerful business figures at the time — and was invited to lunch. That lunch turned into a 21-year career running the Ireland Funds\, raising hundreds of millions of dollars for projects across the island of Ireland. Not bad for ‘just’ networking. \nKey Takeaways from the Episode\n\nGood work doesn’t speak. People do.\nGood work doesn’t speak – other people speak. If nobody knows how you’re contributing to your organisation or your profession\, they move on to someone else. That’s not pessimism – it’s just how the world works.\nThe two most important words in your career: Other People.\nYou’ll never get a job unless other people agree to it. You’ll never win a client unless other people agree to it. Your career is fundamentally a relationship business and yet schools and colleges almost never teach us how to nurture those relationships.\nNetworking is about giving\, not getting.\nApproaching networking as a transaction – What can I get? – is obvious and off-putting. The real approach is simpler: How can I help?\nIntroverts can be better networkers than extroverts.\nThis one surprises people every time. But Kingsley’s argument is compelling: introverts ask better questions\, listen more genuinely\, and engage with decency and authenticity.\nHard skills get you on the ladder. Soft skills get you up it.\nThis is a theme that will resonate with anyone in the profession. Technical skills are essential – they get you in the door. But the things that drive careers forward: listening\, curiosity\, communication\, resilience\, humour – these are harder to quantify and almost never formally taught.\nYou can make your own luck.\nLuck and serendipity don’t happen sitting at your desk. They happen when you’re in motion\, when you talk to strangers\, when you put your talents on display.\n\nWhy Watch This Episode?\nWhether you’ve always been uncomfortable at networking events\, or you’ve been doing it for years on autopilot\, this conversation with Kingsley Aikins will give you a completely fresh way of thinking about it. It’s funny\, it’s grounded in real experience\, and it’s full of genuinely actionable ideas. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nReserve your spot – It’s free\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Difference Makers Discuss - Aster Thackery\, What If your REAL skill is connecting people?
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””] \nWhat does a fourth-generation New Zealander\, raised in a small city\, with a Singaporean-Chinese mum\, a law degree\, a Chartered Accountancy qualification\, and an Irish husband have in common with the Italian government\, a 2\,000-person community in Greenwich\, and a global mission to attract foreign investment? \nMeet Aster Thackery. In this episode of Difference Makers Discuss\, host Sinéad Donovan sits down with one of the most refreshingly non-linear careers you’ll encounter in our profession. Aster is a member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand\, currently serving as Chair of the CA ANZ UK Regional Council — and by day\, she works with the Italian Trade Agency\, helping international businesses understand the investment landscape in Italy. Oh\, and she’s also built one of the most vibrant parent communities in southeast London. Essentially from scratch. \nThe Chartered Accountancy Qualification That Opened Every Door\nAster studied both law and accounting\, but it was the Chartered Accountancy qualification that made all the difference when she arrived in London on a working visa. Recruiters\, employers\, boardrooms — the accounting credential was the one that got her the interviews and\, ultimately\, the opportunities. It led her to a role as lead finance specialist with what was then UK Trade and Investment\, sending her around the world to talk to businesses about the UK’s investment landscape. From there\, a similar role — but this time for Italy. \nIt’s a reminder that a Chartered Accountancy qualification doesn’t just open the door to a career in accountancy. It opens doors\, full stop. \nKey Takeaways from the Episode\n\nCultural awareness is a genuine professional advantage.\nAster recommends The Culture Map by Erin Meyer as essential reading for anyone working internationally\, noting it helped her understand the significant difference between how New Zealanders (direct\, egalitarian) and Italians (hierarchical\, nuanced) operate in professional settings. A small awareness shift that made a big difference.\nYour Chartered Accountant gives you confidence in rooms that feel daunting.\nWalking into a conference room full of senior business leaders as a young woman? That can feel like a lot. But the Chartered Accountancy qualification acts as a kind of professional anchor – a visible signal of credibility.\nCommunity is one of the most powerful things you can build.\nFive years ago\, Aster moved to Greenwich\, knew nobody\, and was pregnant with her second child. She started a small coffee meetup for local parents. That meetup now has over 2\,000 active members. It’s incorporated as a social enterprise\, and has empowered other women in the community to launch their own initiatives. What started as a simple human impulse — I don’t know anyone\, let me find some people — became something much more substantial. A reminder that the most meaningful things often don’t begin with a grand plan.\nPeople want a village — but they don’t want to be a villager.\nMany people lament the loss of community while simultaneously being unwilling to contribute to building one. Her push-back is gentle but firm: if you want the village\, you have to show up for it.\nDone is better than perfect.\nAster credits much of her ability to juggle a demanding international career\, a voluntary leadership role with CA ANZ\, and a thriving community project (alongside being a mum of two) to one simple mindset shift: knowing when good enough is good enough.\nNever drop your other interests — they all compound.\nEach year\, Aster deliberately learns something completely unrelated to her professional field. A pottery class. A certified advisory board chair course. Her reason: it keeps her brain thinking in different ways\, and you never know when those lateral skills will become relevant.\nSelf-reflection is where it all starts.\nUnderstanding who you are\, what your values are\, and what direction of travel makes sense for you.\n\nWhy Watch This Episode?\nThis is a conversation about what it looks like when you allow your career to be genuinely\, authentically yours\, even when that looks nothing like the path people expected you to take. Aster is funny\, self-aware\, and wonderfully honest about the bits she found hard: the cultural hiccups\, the shift from independent free spirit to co-parenting life\, the slow realisation that connecting people might actually be her greatest skill. \nFor anyone who has ever wondered whether a Chartered Accountancy qualification can support a career that doesn’t look like a traditional one\, this episode is your answer. It absolutely can. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nReserve your spot – It’s free\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Beyond Accounting: Sustainability Reporting
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Sustainability reporting has emerged as one of the most significant transformations in the accounting and corporate reporting profession in decades. As businesses confront climate risk\, social inequality\, resource constraints\, and heightened stakeholder scrutiny\, traditional financial reporting alone is no longer sufficient to explain how organizations create and preserve long-term value. The CAW session introduces sustainability reporting and disclosure as the next evolutionary step in accounting which integrates environmental\, social\, and governance (ESG) considerations into core business strategy\, risk management\, and decision-making. \nDrawing on the foundational concepts presented in Sustainability Reporting and Disclosures\, this seminar explores why sustainability has become a strategic imperative rather than a voluntary add-on. Participants will examine the economic\, social\, and ethical rationale for sustainability\, the distinction between sustainability and ESG\, and the growing influence of investors\, regulators\, and other stakeholders in shaping disclosure expectations. Particular attention is given to materiality\, both financial\, impact\, double\, and dynamic\, as the organizing principle that connects sustainability performance to enterprise value. \nThe session also addresses the challenges and risks associated with sustainability reporting\, including greenwashing\, inconsistent ESG ratings\, and the increasing demand for reliable\, assured non-financial information. Through real-world examples\, participants will gain insight into how organizations can credibly integrate sustainability into business strategy\, establish meaningful metrics\, and communicate performance with transparency and integrity. \nThis event is CPE eligible (up to 1.8 credits) provided attendees attend for at least 50 minutes and answer at least 5 polls. \nLEARNING OBJECTIVES:   \nThis presentation will help you: \n\nExplain why sustainability reporting represents an essential evolution of accounting\, driven by resource constraints\, stakeholder expectations\, and long-term value creation.\nDistinguish clearly between sustainability and ESG\, understanding sustainability as the objective and ESG as the framework used to manage\, measure\, and communicate performance.\nIdentify the key stakeholders in sustainability reportingand explain how their information needs differ from traditional shareholder-focused reporting.\nUnderstand and apply materiality concepts—financial\, impact\, double\, and dynamic—and explain why materiality is foundational to credible sustainability disclosures.\nRecognize the risks of greenwashingand explain why data integrity\, governance\, and assurance are critical to maintaining trust and legitimacy.\nDescribe the fundamental steps required to integrate ESG and sustainability into business strategy\, including defining purpose\, setting KPIs\, and communicating progress.\nAppreciate the expanding global and regulatory context of sustainability reporting\, and why professionals must stay adaptive as standards and expectations continue to evolve.\n\nFIELD OF STUDY: Accounting / Sustainability Reporting \nPREREQUISITES: No prerequisite provided attendees are qualified CAs and/or CPAs \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND: Open to members and associates of CAW Network USA and Guests \nADVANCE PREPARATION: Not required \nPROGRAM LEVEL: Basic \nDELIVERY METHOD: Group Internet \nREFUND / CANCELLATION POLICY: No fee for members or guests \nCOMPLAINT RESOLUTION POLICY: For more information regarding refund\, complaint and/or program cancellation policies (as relevant)\, please contact chiefexecutive@cawnetworkusa.com[/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Click here to register” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fcawnetworkusa.com%2Fevent%2Fbeyond-accounting-sustainability-reporting%2F|title:Click%20here%20to%20register|target:_blank”][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Discover how audit training provides “permission to be curious” and opens doors to fascinating experiences—from watching deep-sea divers lay underwater pipes to understanding complex infrastructure projects.

Vijian draws fascinating connections between contemporary challenges—from carbon storage projects to debt-for-policy swaps—and the critical need for ethical frameworks in business. \nNavigating AI and Technology Get practical insights on the ethical considerations surrounding artificial intelligence in the accounting profession. Learn about IESBA’s principle-based guidelines and why accountants must maintain professional judgment even as technology advances. \nTrust in an Era of Misinformation Explore why accountants remain among the most trusted professions according to the Edelman Trust Barometer\, and what this trust means for the profession’s role in today’s complex business environment. \nLeadership Lessons from Unexpected Places Hear how marathon running taught Vijian about persistence\, discipline\, and resilience—and how these lessons translate directly to professional success. \nKey Takeaways for Your Career\nWhether you’re a student considering the profession\, an early-career professional\, or an experienced practitioner\, you’ll come away with: \n\nCuriosity as a discipline – How to cultivate questioning as a daily habit\nCourage over convenience – The importance of making difficult calls and standing by them\nConsistency (purpose with patience) – Why real progress takes time and persistent effort\n\nWhy Attend?\nThis session is perfect for: \n\nAccounting students exploring career paths\nEarly and mid-career professionals seeking inspiration\nLeaders interested in ethics and standard-setting\nAnyone passionate about the evolving role of accountants in society\nThose interested in how global standards are developed and implemented\n\nAbout Our Speakers\nCarla Vijian is Principal at the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA)\, an associate member of the New York State Society of CPAs\, and a member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand. Her career spans audit roles in the public and private sectors across multiple continents. \nSinead Donovan is past president of Chartered Accountants Ireland and host of the Difference Makers Discuss series. \nRegister Now\nCan’t make the live session?
