Her paper, entitled “Developing an instrument to measure the current views and preferences of employers in respect of qualifications obtained by newly qualified tax practitioners”, was presented on day three of the conference. The aim of the presentation was not only to present an instrument developed to evaluate and improve tax-specific qualifications, but also to provide fellow educators with a tool to evaluate and improve any professional qualifications being taught by them. The presenter was pleased to receive positive feedback about the paper from fellow delegates as well as requests to use the paper in similar research.
