Conferences and working groups
As part of a programme of international events and conferences, Praxity leaders meet regularly across the world. With contributions from firm leaders, technical experts, and inspiring guest speakers, Praxity conferences are an important part of what the Alliance offers its members. Delegates are given the chance to continue their professional education and explore areas that are key to both the industry and their business aims. The conference programmes also feature informal activities to facilitate networking and ensure that the agenda achieves its full value for members. Leaders at member firms also get to know each other personally, with every networking opportunity serving to strengthen professional relationships.
Praxity also offers the chance for experts at member firms to participate in working groups, guiding best practice and leveraging collective knowledge and experience. Each area of technical expertise has its own working group, with rotating chairs and vice-chairs. These groups meet online and in person at the Praxity conferences, helping to guide collective action and contributing to mutual success.
Growth and business development
Praxity member firms see continuous growth year on year in every region of the world and in every service line. Members have demonstrated leadership in business growth, ESG, diversity, equity and inclusion, anti-money laundering, tax technology and artificial intelligence (AI) guidance, ethical business practices, business relations with indigenous peoples, action on modern slavery, and BCorp certification. Alliance leaders are recognised industry-wide for their innovations and expertise, often setting standards that are used nationally and throughout the world.
Financial resources and training
Through its own executive office, Praxity provides training resources for member firms, as well as firm directories, online portals for mergers and acquisitions and work secondments, and in-depth territory-specific tax guides for countries represented within the Alliance. Praxity also publishes HUB, a quarterly industry magazine, as well as Thought Leadership pieces, news items, and articles.
