Of course, networking is a need that webinars cannot fulfil, but they offer such flexibility, being available almost whenever and wherever you are.\u00a0 Also, their affordability \u2013 not only direct cost, but the savings made on travel expenses and, most importantly, time \u2013 surely beat attending courses hands-down.\u00a0 Another advantage is that you can be more selective about the topics that you want to learn about, rather than paying for a day\u2019s course when only an hour or so really interests you.\u00a0 I also know that some firms use webinars effectively by showing them team-wide, often sandwiched between the firm\u2019s own training sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Preparing webinars takes an age and, as a presenter, I have to say that they\u2019re not as rewarding \u2013 I don\u2019t enjoy a buzz from speaking to myself in an empty room \u2013 but they\u2019re also not as nerve-wrecking, so hopefully my standard of delivery is better. We produce them because we believe that it\u2019s important to spread the knowledge: insolvency legislation and the layers of SIPs can seem an impenetrable thicket and I think we could all do with as much help as we can get.\u00a0 Regrettably also, it\u2019s only over time that the full consequences of the minutiae are realised and \u201cregulatory expectations\u201d evolve so that even long-assumed immoveable standards take on new shades.<\/p>\n<p>We try our best to pick up on these changes as they emerge and present webinars as soon as we ourselves have got a handle on the detail. However, we don\u2019t ignore the old topics, as we recognise the value of refreshers as well as providing training and support for the next generation.\u00a0 Of course, explaining how to be compliant is the primary objective of these webinars, but this doesn\u2019t mean that we\u2019re interested only in the theory; it necessarily involves exploring the <em>practical<\/em> application of regulations and standards and we try very hard to help clients see how their systems and processes can meet requirements effectively.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Forthcoming webinars<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Over the next few weeks, we will be adding the following to our growing library of webinars:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>The SIPs and other compliance concerns<\/strong> \u2013 new issues that have emerged since we presented at last year\u2019s ICAEW roadshows<\/li>\n<li><strong>An introduction to insolvency: corporate and personal insolvency processes<\/strong> \u2013 designed to be part of firms\u2019 induction programmes for new employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Later, I will be recording my presentation currently doing the rounds of the R3 SPG Technical Reviews:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fretting Over Fees: lessons to be learnt from IPs\u2019 2016 fee proposals<\/strong> (don\u2019t worry, clients.
