Our cover interview this month is with Amun Mustafiz FCCA, who as the first female FD at BAT Bangladesh is blazing a trail for women in the country. She tells how her career at BAT has led her from her home country to Japan and back again, via Sri Lanka and Hong Kong.
In the month where we celebrate International Women’s Day, we also look at how Pakistan’s business and finance community are stepping up efforts towards gender equality.
Public pressure is also driving a focus on sustainability and environmental issues, but in some cases companies need to back up their media soundbites with firm actions, as our feature explains.
Also included this month are features on how blockchain can play a role in ESG activity, the new working week in UAE, proposed income tax reform in Bangladesh, and how televised quizzes, TV dramas and computer games are just some of the ways that governments can improve tax compliance.
