In the October edition of AB, we continue to feature articles supporting ACCA’s current theme ‘Rethinking sustainable business’, with an interview with Dani Marunović FCCA, CFO of the Global Reporting Initiative.
We learn how the GRI seeks to enable organisations to use a global common language to report their climate-related impacts. And Marunović tells of her desire throughout her professional career to work with organisations that can make a difference.
We also interview ACCA affiliate Awais Ahmad, who qualified as an accountant in his home country but came to the UK fleeing from persecution. His battle to find work was hard fought but, with support from the Refugee Council and the charity Breaking Barriers, he is now an audit associate at Grant Thornton.
Also this month, there are features on broad topics such as the tax impact on international cricket, and specific career guidance such as shared parental leave and roles to consider in the run-up to retirement. We also cover how the Chartered Certified Accountants’ Benevolent Fund can support members and their families in distress.
Don’t forget you can hear more about sustainability plus other trends and developments, and earn up to 20 CPD units, at this year’s ‘Accounting for the Future’ conference. See the programme for the virtual event, which runs from 23–25 November. To attend, register here, or watch on demand.
