This month we look at the impact of the invasion of Ukraine and, in particular, what it means for finance professionals.
For example, a huge number of businesses’ supply chains involve Russian products and services. Identifying these links in the chain and finding alternative suppliers is a massive challenge, as we see in our feature ‘Supply chain pain’. We also look at the steps accountancy firms are taking to keep operations going and to support staff in Ukraine.
Meanwhile, our main interview this month is with Takis Klerides FCCA, the former finance minister of Cyprus. He takes us through how he helped his country join the EU as well as his love of basketball.
Talking of the EU, we also investigate the impact of rising interest rates in the eurozone. Apparently, higher rates may not be a bad thing for business, after all.
And finally, have you ever wondered what impact bonuses could have on audit quality? According to research, they could be a double-edged sword, with much depending on the individual auditor’s motivation.
