The current geopolitical turbulence is buffeting almost every sector of activity in countries around the world and Ireland is no exception, as recent fuel protests have shown.
Against a background of continuing global turmoil, AB has a timely article assessing the need for Ireland to develop a strong security strategy. With Ireland’s six-month hosting of the Council of the European Union’s presidency from July, now is the time to build up resilience amid growing calls for a ‘whole of government/whole of society’ approach to tackling external threats.
Our main interview this month is with Daren Moore FCCA, CEO of TaxAssist Accountants, whose distinctive blue-and-yellow branding is becoming a familiar sight on high streets in the Republic of Ireland. He’s no stranger to change and says that the franchise model provides an important safety net for practices in a rapidly evolving market.
With costs increasing, accountants are in demand to advise clients on how best to make their finances go further. One area for businesses and landlords to explore is claiming property purchase capital allowances, where specialist advice is often needed.
There’s further pause for thought in another trend that has emerged in recent years. Irish companies are increasingly turning away from listing on the stock market towards alternative forms of investment. Columnist Ian Guider assesses the benefits, risks and costs of relying on private credit.
And for members thinking of making changes themselves in response to the current situation, we have an article on how to beat the AI interview avatar as well as a wide-ranging set of CPD articles.
