Specialist Interest Groups
BASDA Specialist Interest Groups (SIG) are driven by members as centres of action to address key issues affecting the software industry and its customers.
BASDA are always ready to listen to members to help drive debate in new areas with a view to setting up new interest groups or working parties.
BASDA are committed to developing the association to bring maximum value to its existing members and further extend its reach and effectiveness, appealing to small, medium and large organisations alike.
Our Specialist Interest Groups
There are currently 7 Specialist Interest Groups that allow members to influence direction and benefit from the rallying power of BASDA in specific areas of business software:

SIG: Accountants in Practice
Focussing on matters affecting the software products that firms of accountants use and, by extension, their clients. We provide an early introduction to matters in the regulatory and compliance environment.
SIG: Construction
Representing members on the Operational Forum of HMRC’s Construction Industry Scheme to contribute to the discussion on the operation of the scheme and ensure software changes are prioritised and appropriately considered.
SIG: Making Tax Digital
Representing and working for members from the early stages of Making Tax Digital, we aim to ensure that future regulations are appropriately influenced at government level, before official implementation, for the future benefit of our customers and members. This SIG has now amalgamated with the Accountants in Practice SIG.
