As the nights draw in, feelgood food and Christmas present shopping are high on the agenda. In our main interview this month, Michelle Vance FCCA talks about winning the ‘golden ticket’ as CEO of chocolate specialist Lily O’Brien’s. Find out more about how the luxury brand has navigated the challenges of Covid, rising raw product prices and changes in consumer spending.
And if you want to know how the world’s richest people earn – and spend – their billions, we have some analysis of where the wealthiest individuals are based, and which businesses are the biggest moneyspinners.
Elsewhere there’s a focus on sustainability in this month’s edition. We have articles looking at the EU sustainability disclosures and assurance that companies will need to make from next year, and guidance in areas such as carbon allowances. Our columnist Ian Guider also discusses the impact of additional reporting requirements and red tape on SMEs looking to widen their export markets.
Finally, in case you missed ACCA’s annual conference Accounting for the Future, and its counterpart the Virtual Public Sector Conference, you can watch on demand and earn up to 21 CPD units ahead of this year’s deadline.
