TeamMate, part of Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting, today kicked off its annual User Forum, a global event attracting auditors from some of the most innovative audit departments in the world, both large and small, across all industries.

The TeamMate User Forum connects industry-leading audit professionals, users of TeamMate software, and representatives from TeamMate to build a network of audit professionals for ongoing collaboration. Attendees will earn valuable CPE credits through a wide variety of courses taught by world-leading experts, gain valuable insight into TeamMate's newest releases, and learn about the latest audit trends and technologies. Roundtable discussions will provide participants an opportunity to discuss and share best practices.

Additionally, attendees will benefit from the perspective and expertise of keynote speaker Michael Fucilli, CAE of a large Public Sector organization with revenues in excess of $15 billion and author of “Auditing for Impact: How to Make a Difference.” Mr. Fucilli will discuss why audit departments need to focus on impact, how to add value for others, and how auditing the strategy and business will dramatically increase impact to a company’s bottom line.

“Attendees of the TeamMate User Forum tell us that this event provides them with best practices that have an immediate impact on their day-to-day work, allowing them to work smarter and more efficiently,” said Mike Gowell, General Manager of TeamMate, part of Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting. “Listening to our clients is core to what we do, so the event helps us, too, in that attendees share valuable comments and insights to guide future direction of TeamMate products and services.”
