Why people convert Auckland to Accra time

Scheduling a call from Auckland to Accra: a 10:00 AM start in Auckland lands at 9:00 PM in Accra the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -13h gap: Auckland and Accra have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in Accra is 8:00 PM in Auckland.
Coordinating a Auckland-based team with Accra contacts: quoting times in the other side's local clock — not your own — removes the single biggest source of missed meetings.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM NZDT" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -13h gap is not.
With a -13h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week Auckland takes the early slot, the next week Accra does.
