ICAEW Directors Briefings

Every now and again as a consultant, manager or business adviser we need to put our hands on short, accurate and trusted materials covering a wide range of topics.

In a previous blog entry, I highlighted some of the fact-sheets available from the CIPD most of which are open to any web site visitor. In the same way that the CIPD fact-sheets provide HR based material, The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and  Wales  (ICAWE) provide a range of  Director Briefings for their members and website visitors.

These cover a diverse range of materials including strategy, marketing, business planning etc. What is more, these Directors Briefing topics are covered in just 4 pages and are kept up to date, so data we can trust.

The RapidBI team have used these materials with our clients and hope that you find them useful too:
