Editor's note
=============
If you are looking for persuasive arguments to encourage your MD
to increase this year's training budget, look no further than
this week's Any Answers. Brigette McGreggor-McDonald said that
in a previous company she found comparing the cost of feeding
staff with training had proved an eye-opener, while Tim Drewitt
points out that staff loyalty is boosted by training. But
perhaps the most persuasive argument comes from Jacqueline
Grimsley who offers the quote: "If you're asking what happens
if we train everyone and they leave it's the wrong question.
The question is - what if we don't train anyone and they all
stay?" Read more or offer your own suggestions at:

CPD & TNA Resources Needed
----------------------------
Accountants face major changes to their training regimes in
2005. Practice and business members of two of the leading
accountancy institutes must undertake Continuous Professional
Development (CPD). Members must identify what their training
needs are, carry out training and provide evidence to support
their ongoing training. We are interested in companies or
organisations that supply products and services that could help
accountants meet their training needs in 2005. Please get in
touch with Jeremy Arnold on 0117 9159619 or
