As 2022 comes to an end, we meet Aderemi Sotunbo FCCA, CFO of the Swedish NGO the Life & Peace Institute. Nigerian by birth but now settled in the green heart of Ireland, he talks about funding challenges, alongside the satisfaction of working for an organisation that’s helping African communities affected by conflict.
We also meet Eminos Manyawi FCCA, CFO of South Africa’s Sefako Magkatho University, who is using his ACCA Qualification (and several others) to ensure that the institution’s offerings are accessible to all.
Elsewhere, practitioners in East Africa weigh the benefits of IFRS Standards against the challenges, and a contributor proposes a solution to the debt relief limbo that’s hobbling growth in developing countries.
Other highlights to end the year include infographics illustrating the rise and fall of accountancy software providers and the performance of the global software market, and three very good reasons why forecasts are a ‘waste of time’.
