Beyond the numbers with Grant Thornton: Listen now
Over the past decade, the higher education sector has faced evolving challenges and opportunities. The Universities Accord offers visionary recommendations shaping discussions on reforms in response to widening expectation gaps between industry, students, institutions, and government, particularly in the digital post-COVID era.
This webinar will showcase an engaging discussion on higher education risk with Emeritus Professor Judyth Sachs, exploring key Accord recommendations addressing placement poverty and the need for modular qualifications. Our panel of sector practitioners will delve into the risks, opportunities, and challenges these recommendations present.
You'll leave the session having learned about the implications of recommendations on universities, both operationally and financially, and the role of internal audit in navigating these shifts.
