In our interview this month, ACCA Ireland’s new chair Stephen Doyle FCCA outlines how authenticity and inclusively are the key themes for his year in office. Director of administrative and workplace services for EY Ireland, regarded as ‘the engine room of the firm’, he plans to build on the work of the wider panels in bringing ACCA’s core values to life.
We look at current trends within the Irish economy, including major developments in the push to promote offshore wind energy in response to climate change challenges.
There’s also analysis of the impact of job cuts and retrenchment in the big tech sector on employment and the tax regime, with some indicators suggesting that a significant contraction could cost the economy €34bn.
Columnist Ian Guider assesses how companies and government should respond to the switch to remote working, and how the buildings and activities in cities can be reimagined.
Elsewhere, we have tips for anyone looking to improve how their practice handles its day to day operations, with an article explaining Lean methodology and its application to professional service firms.
And we also provide guidance on how leaders of an organisation can protect their people from poor mental health.
Finally, our CPD technical feature this month is on the new sustainability standards that will be ready for implementation in 2024. How can companies prepare for the upcoming standards, and what are the key principles of IFRS S1?
