Owen Mccafferty
Owen Mccafferty, CPA (US)

Great speaker on a topic that is not a hackneyed presentation. Her comments and delivery were excellent. Long time between polls existed. Small things .... Her slide used the English/English spelling of "Judgement", not the American English spelling of "Judgement". Ms. Cicchella's focus is clearly European and Middle Eastern. More comments about her North American experiences would be helpful. Great presenter and fresh topic! Well done.

Informed speaker and very good examples and stories to make points clearer about the subject matter.
