What does the Kreston chair embody?
Niels has made academic contributions to various international publications in the field of SME Accountancy. He has also, together with our Kreston colleague Tjitse Schurer, participated in international “round table” sessions. These round tables, organised by IAAER and IAASB, brought together international accounting practitioners, academics and users of financial statements of SMEs to exchange views on the developed draft “Less Complex Entities Control Standard”.
The tension between control and advice, which is a serious point of attention for the SME accountant, will certainly also be discussed. Niels refers to the well-known American professor Robert Knechel, whose opinion is that good cooperation between accountant and client is necessary in order to provide high-quality services. The closer the relationship between accountant and client, the more
added value the client experiences from the accountant. Moreover, many SMEs also appreciate the accountant’s broad expertise (audit and advice) so that they receive services from a single point of contact.
With this chair we also expect to realise benefits in terms of approaching the job market. How do you get the right people on board when the demand is so much greater than the supply? For large companies, the emphasis is on auditing, while the auditor in SMEs can offer so much more! In short, Kreston Netherlands and Niels van Nieuw Amerongen have a lot to do in the coming years “Think big, dream big, then beautiful things will happen”. We will gladly keep you informed of the news through this site and our social channels.
