It seems fitting this month, as ACCA celebrates its 120th birthday, that AB is showcasing Alka Ahuja, the CFO of Woodland Trust, who has been making a difference in a way that makes us proud of our member community. Find out how the trust’s Tree Equity Score tool highlights the link between lack of green space and social deprivation – along with other important initiatives.
In other news from the public sector, we explore the depths of the local government audit crisis and how recent measures won’t solve the problems around capacity and capability in local authority finance and audit teams.
Public services have received some attention from the Budget this month. Read about this and other measures in our coverage.
To lighten the mood, we travel (well, virtually at least) to Las Vegas to find out about the Excel championships, where data crunchers are showing their skills at the annual competition.
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 the deadline. Find out more.
