FCM is organising its 8th Annual Conference, which will take place in Bucharest on the 2nd of October, 2009. The Conference will mark the 10th anniversary of FCM. It will be held in the Hotel Radisson SAS in Bucharest and hosted by CECCAR (Corpul Expertilor Contabili si Contabililor Autorizati din Romania), which represents the accountancy profession in Romania. The conference will be addressed by Mr. George Samothrakis, Executive President of the FCM Board and Vice President of the Greek Institute of Certified Public Accountants (SOEL).
In light of the ongoing financial and economic crisis and with the prospective of also discussing the vital role that the Accounting and Auditing profession can play, FCM has organised this Conference to provide a deeper understanding of the issues in question, particularly in the light of their impact on the Mediterranean region. Specific emphasis will also be given to the issues affecting Small and Medium Practices and Small and Medium Enterprises. Among others, it will have the participation of representatives from the EU Commission, the World Bank, the FEE, the IFAC and the Economist.
