The November edition of AB includes extensive coverage of the outputs of the COP 26 climate change conference. Our daily articles from the event focused on the impact for professional accountants, including insights from ACCA members.
Our main interview this month is with Paul Kilcullen FCCA, country head and CEO of BNY Mellon’s Irish funds services business, who identifies sustainability, along with digitisation, as a key issue for the financial services sector. Read his views on how to turn challenges into opportunities.
And we take a look at how small businesses have met the challenges of the pandemic, with ACCA members from a range of sectors outlining how they survived and thrived during major disruption.
In the wake of the announcement that Ireland is to implement the new global minimum corporation tax rate of 15%, we have in-depth analysis of the likely impact on multinationals based here, plus comment on how tax policy may change in future. We also have an assessment of how tax incentives can help Ireland retain its lead in the global market for developing new medical devices and equipment.
New this month, AB has launched a series of podcasts for small and medium-sized practitioners. The first episode looks at how to manage your team in a lockdown, while the second talks about how to differentiate your firm from the competition.
We also have a selection of articles that offer CPD units – about the recently announced sustainability standards; how to deal with anger in the workplace; and guidance on meeting data retention requirements under GDPR. More to come next month as we head towards the 31 December CPD deadline.
