Digitalisation Awards 2019

Technology impacts professional accountants and the bodies that represent them. Our members are embracing these opportunities. This year we celebrate their most promising initiatives with our Digitalisation Awards 2019. 

Our members’ award nominations underline their positive outlook as resulted from our Members’ Technology Barometer  in 2017 and 2018. Sharing these best practices can inspire other bodies to innovate in supporting their members in their digital transition.  

 We are delighted to feature the 17 digitalisation initiatives from our members, divided in two categories:  

• Member Services – going digital to better serve their members (professional accountants)
• SME tools – practical digital support for accountants to better serve SMEs  

The awards winners have been announced at our Digital Day 2019 What Does Innovation Cost? on 19 November.  Find more about each project in the brochure below.
