Discussion groups are organised at divisional level and are a service to members. They provide a forum for the exchange of information and ideas based on a common interest. 

Groups may be based on occupations, on location, or on a special interest of particular members.  For example, groups may form around a particular occupational area (e.g. the construction industry, architecture or public practice). 

These groups might be further sub-divided into geographic areas (e.g. Southern Suburbs Public Accountants). Or groups may be formed around a technical interest such as information technology or taxation, or through ethnic or religious bonds as in the case of Christian accountants.

For a list of discussion groups in your state or country, use the discussion group search facility on the website.
