The network is more than 60 years old

Delegates at the two-day conference will discuss bankruptcy, debt legislation and an increase in the number of queries from asylum seekers.

CAS chief executive Kaliani Lyle said staff from 77 centres throughout Scotland will attend.

She said the service has lasted 65 years because it does not stand still.

Speaking before the conference, she said: "In many ways, the CAB service reflects the state of modern Scotland through the type of problems that people bring to us.

Remote communities

"We are still here today because we have never stood still.

"We have constantly reinvented ourselves as a modern service relevant to the needs of the times and the communities we are part of."

Delegates will also look at the CAB's pioneering IT work in bringing advice services to remote communities.

The service's 12,000-page information system is now updated and circulated on a CD-ROM each month.
