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 have published a special edition of AB looking at skills in green finance, fintech, communication and ethics, among other topics.
Speaking of skills, our interviewee this month is Robert Hoy FCCA, CFO of fashion eyewear company William Morris London. Working with the owner, Hoy’s first task when he was appointed last year was to lay out a top-down strategy, starting with a mission statement. Read about how he’s helping the brand go from strength to strength.
With Cowes Week taking place in August, we take a look at the finances behind competitive sailing and the boost provided by Abu Dhabi’s tourist board, which injected much-needed cash into the largest regatta in the world.
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.
Also on a technology theme, we 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.
