With the business environment transforming before our very eyes and new challenges emerging, such as sustainability, inflation, recession and a tight labour market, professional accountants are finding that new skills are needed in order to cope. This month we’ve published a special edition of AB looking at skills in green finance, fintech, communication and ethics, among other topics.
In our interview, we meet Vijay KR FCCA, partner in a Big Four firm in India, who sees MSMEs as the key to transforming the country's economy.
Also in this issue, following the Abu Dhabi tourist board’s injection of much-needed cash into Cowes Week, the world’s largest regatta, we take a look at the finances behind competitive sailing. As part of the sponsorship deal, in January 2023 the emirate will host a winter edition of the regatta, which takes place annually in August off the south coast of England.
We also look at how tax administrations globally have performed over the past year, and how digital transformation has been a major enabler in the advances made, catalysed by measures taken during the pandemic.
Finally, if you’re looking to get on top of your CPD over the summer break, we have plenty of articles that will earn you CPD units, such as this month’s feature about how accountancy practices are taking a zero-trust approach to cybersecurity, and the skills required to do this.
