In the October edition of AB, we continue to feature articles supporting ACCA’s current theme ‘Rethinking sustainable business’, with an interview with Dani Marunović FCCA, CFO of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).

We learn how the GRI seeks to enable organisations to use a global common language to report their climate-related impacts. And Marunović tells of her desire throughout her professional career to work with organisations that can make a difference.

In our report from the recent ACCA Hong Kong virtual annual conference, we discover how sustainability will be a key issue for Hong Kong as it seeks to redefine its role as a global financial centre.

Procter & Gamble senior finance manager Tim Tse ACCA tells AB about how taking part in the ACCA Hong Kong business competition set him on a path to qualifying. Now working for one of the world’s largest consumer goods companies, Tse sees constant learning as key to success.

We find out how Greater Bay Area expansion plans will allow Hong Kong accountants to seize opportunities. And, in our careers section, we look at whether MBAs are really worth it.
