Our main interview this month is with Vincent Opiyo FCCA, regional CFO for northern Africa at African pay TV giant MultiChoice. He discusses the threat posed by rapid tech advances in the sector and how the business is countering competition from streaming and social media.
In a second interview we meet award-winning CFO Prudence Muchinouta FCCA, of Community Markets for Conservation. She talks about her work empowering farmers in Zambia to adopt sustainable agricultural practices and how speaking at the COP26 climate conference made her feel like she ‘could fly’.
Our columnist Okey Umeano FCCA writes about the painful experiences of Ghana as it pays the price for its unsustainable debt. There are lessons here for other highly indebted African nations anxious to avoid the same fate.
ACCA’s recent survey about talent trends revealed, among other things, that addressing burnout has to be a priority. Our article explores how leaders can influence the mental health of their organisation and avoid burnout.
For practitioners, we have an article on innovative ways of marketing your business in order to bring in new revenue streams and clients.
And for those in the public sector, we discuss experts’ concerns over governments shifting costs off balance sheet in the article ‘Contingent liabilities scrutinised’.
