The November edition of AB includes extensive coverage of the outputs of the COP 26 climate change conference. Our daily articles from the event focused on the impact for professional accountants, including insights from ACCA members. Find out about the new sustainability standards, developments in green bonds, commitments to net zero and the call for gender equality in climate action, among other issues.
The main interview this month is with Salman Sharif FCCA, UAE country director of finance at Rixos Hotels in Dubai. He explains how scenarios, staycations and the timely opening of Dubai Expo 2020 have powered the pandemic recovery.
Also this month, AB has launched a series of podcasts for small and medium-sized practitioners. The first episode looks at how to manage your team in a lockdown, with practical insights from practitioners in the UK (Chris Biggs) and India (Ajay Sethi FCCA). The second talks about how to differentiate your firm from the competition, with tips from practitioner Robert Belle FCCA in Kenya, and marketing consultant and regular AB contributor Jason Ball in the UK.
We also have a selection of articles that offer CPD units – about the recently announced sustainability standards and how to deal with anger in the workplace. Previous months’ CPD articles are also available, and there are more to come next month as we head towards the 31 December CPD deadline.
