The Mercia Group is one of the biggest providers of training and support services to the accountancy profession in the UK.  They have been providing independent accountancy practices with training and documentation for over 20 years.

Their services range from providing training for  Accountants (including CPD courses and on-the-job training);  technical accountancy manuals such as money laundering manuals; tax cards and budget reports; marketing support and help with practice development, including training on the Clarified ISAs that came into effect in the UK and Ireland in December 2010.

They produce very informative accountancy newsletters on a monthly basis both giving you news about new courses and also background to some of the legislation, for example recent newsletters have included information about :-

• Bank reports for Audit purposes and how practice note 16 affects the auditor
