Accountex has become the latest casualty of Covid-19. The mid-May event has now been rescheduled for 18-19 November at ExCel London.

Carsten Holm, of organiser Diversified Communications said: “Accountex is the single most important business event for many in the accountancy and finance industry. A lot of companies rely on it to meet new and current customers. So this decision has not been taken lightly. However, the response to the outbreak is unprecedented, and I think you would agree that it is not a climate in which we want to hold the show.”
