Ross Boyd: Whatever you say, say nothing Ross Boyd looks at what we can expect when Rachel Reeves delivers her Spring Statement on March 3

Our Audit Director Brian Stewart represented RBCA at The Resurgam Trust AGM, where he presented the Trust’s annual accounts and provided an overview of the financial position. It was a strong, well-attended event celebrating the projects and innovation happening across Lisburn City, and it was great to see such positive engagement from across the community.

Nothing boosts team spirit like good food and great company! Our Audit team headed out for a lively lunch to connect. Perfect timing as our trainees have just rotated into their new roles!

With fresh perspectives and new responsibilities, this little break gave us the spark we needed before diving into a buzzing Audit Season.

Here’s to stronger collaboration, renewed motivation, and a season full of productivity and wins!
