This month we celebrated International Women’s Day. To mark the occasion we feature Victoria Ajayi FCCA, deputy CFO at Nigerian media group TVC Communications. As the founder of the ACCA Women’s Network Nigeria and an ACCA Council member, she talks about the importance of having safe spaces for women to share experiences and ask questions, as well as her role in planning TVC’s content.
We also speak with Hikmet Abdella, director general of the Accounting and Auditing Board of Ethiopia (AABE), about the organisation’s ambitious plans to develop the accounting capacity required to support the country’s rapidly growing economy, with support from ACCA.
For practitioners, we talk to senior figures in African and Middle East firms about the benefits of joining an international grouping of practices.
For members in the public sector, we look at the new public sector standard for financial instruments, IPSAS 41, and how it might help resolve a number of financial reporting issues (one CPD unit on offer).
Finally, this month AB has published a special edition focusing on big tech. Readers can earn free CPD units while learning about some of the latest developments in AI, climate tech, cybersecurity, audit technology, cryptos, NFTs and more.
