TS thoroughly enjoyed its trip to the Tate Modern for the CIoT's President's Reception.
Unfortunately the nearest TS got to contemporary art was the fluid lines of prez Anthony Thomas' speech.
In fact it seemed like a post-ironic ‘panto installation', what with Anthony delivering his speech from a balcony a la Statler & Waldorf (see grainy pic). This was compounded by the crowd's booing and hissing at his first mention of HMRC.

On consultations, he said that "decisions have already been made, or these consultations where we are simply asked to tick a box out of a possible three options. I am sure you will agree this is not the way to consult".
A good evening had by all, leaving TS sporting a modicum of a hangover today. Cheers.

If budgeting is to have any value at all, it needs a radical overhaul. In today's dynamic marketplace, budgeting can no longer serve as a company's only management system; it must integrate with and support dedicated strategy management systems, process improvement systems, and the like. In this paper, Professor Peter Horvath and Dr Ralf Sauter present what's wrong with the current approach to budgeting and how to fix it.
In this white paper CCH provide checklists to help accountants and finance professionals both in practice and in business examine these issues and make plans. Also includes a case study of a large commercial organisation working through the first year of mandatory iXBRL filing.
