Everybody is talking about artificial intelligence, and how it might change business. Are you considering streamlining your accountancy practice?

The Founder of Practice Connections Advisory, Alan FitzGerald, has some great business-boosting advice for you and your clients. It's a time of great regulatory change for businesses, with the government planning to implement several new pieces of legislation that will affect us all. Lyndall Spooner, from Fifth Dimension Research and Consulting, explains how to prepare for big adjustments to the privacy act. Then the principal at Law on Lydiard, Paul Cott, outlines other changes - this time to the Fair Work Act regarding flexible working times. After all of that, the CEO of the peak small business lobby group, the Council of Small Business Organisations Australia, Luke Achterstraat, gives us a bit of a lift by outlining the efficiencies that can be made through adopting new technology, particularly regarding artificial intelligence and cyber security. Negotiation specialist and author Glin Bayley offers some tips on becoming a great negotiator, and management consultant, Bryan Whitefield, tells us how the best big decisions are actually made by teams - not individuals. One of the biggest issues - and biggest stresses - your clients face is poor cashflow. Senior Manager at Forvis Mazars Werner Botha shares some strategies on how to make sure that cash keeps flowing. Sales teams can also have difficulties generating new business, so coach and author Anna Glynn takes us through her system to boost sales confidence.
