Welcome to the Inaugural online edition of What Counts, and to our RISCPA news website. As CPAs, we pride ourselves on being able to change with the times, developing new systems in an evolving world. The new electronic digital version of What Counts is our way of communicating all the latest news, events, hot topics and conversations that relate to the local, regional and broader CPA community.

The new e-editions of What Counts will come directly to your inbox and be accessible as well on the website www.what-counts.org. As we say goodbye to the old paper editions, we will be able to take advantage of a more immediate, up-to-date form of communication, while making an environmentally sound decision by helping to eliminate paper waste.

Let us know what you think, and enjoy!
