Alan Bonham: Since qualifying as a Chartered Accountant,
most of Alan’s time has been spent training others. He was a
Director at Anderson’s Tutors Limited where he prepared
students for ICAEW exams. From there, he joined Neville Russell
where he became Training Manager. He then spent 16 years as a
freelance lecturer and training consultant specialising in audit
and accounting topics.
Most recently, Alan was Director of Training for SWAT Ltd. As part
of his role, he was responsible for the development of SWAT’s
national programme of CPD training as well as presenting a number
of courses himself. Alan had been Managing Director of Pentagon
Training Ltd until the company was acquired by SWAT in October
2005.
Alan is now working again as a freelance lecturer – he is one
of the few lecturers who can make auditing interesting. He also
advises firms on their audit procedures and offers practical help
in achieving compliance in a cost-effective manner. He has also
worked with non-accountants, and is the co-author with Ken Langdon
of Smart Things to Know about Business Finance which also
demystifies the language of finance.
Ken Langdon: With a background in technology, Ken has
been a trainer and consultant to many of the computer majors around
the world. He has lectured in the USA, Australia, and all over the
Far East and Europe.
In particular he has taught finance for non-financial managers and
worked hard on explaining how the slightly esoteric world of
finance reflects the real life world of businesses.
He is the author of a number of books on this and related
topics.
