Consultation on the #Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is an important opportunity to shape crucial #climate policy. #CharteredAccountants, with our expertise in financial analysis and emissions reporting, are uniquely positioned to provide insights. icaew.com/insights/tax-n…

In our new 'Insights in Focus' podcast, I discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the profession, and some takeaways and reflections from my time as CEO of @ICAEW. icaew.com/insights/podca…

The PSAA has a crucial role to play in the successful functioning of the local authority #audit market. Delighted that Bill has been appointed and thanks to Steve Freer for the role he has played over the last nine years. psaa.co.uk/2024/03/psaa-a…

(2/2) We thank @RobWhiteman for the huge contribution he has made to the #accountancy profession in the 🇬🇧 and globally, and he has our very best wishes for life after @CIPFA.

(1/2) Congrats to Owen Mapley on his appointment as the next @CIPFA CEO. @ICAEW looks forward to working closely with him to strengthen further the strategic partnership between our two institutes, and to tackle the challenges facing local authority #audit & financial reporting.

We need a new vision for a prosperous and productive UK #economy that supports #businesses. Thank you to all members and colleagues who have contributed to this important project. #icaewManifesto

On behalf of the members and staff of @ICAEW, I would like to offer His Majesty The King our best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

Delighted to have contributed to @ICAEW_CORP_FIN's panel discussion on @ICAEW's new guide, ‘Cyber security in Corporate Finance’. Helping raise awareness of #cyber risks facing #businesses and provide practical steps to tackle those risks during M&A and restructuring.

New report from @UKCCAB finds the #accountancy profession contributed £98 billion (€114 billion) to the UK and Irish economies in 2022, and supported more than 900,000 jobs. This highlights the key role we play supporting #businesses on so many fronts. ccab.org.uk/the-accountanc…

As part of our efforts to modernise our governance, @ICAEW is recruiting new Board members. We're looking for six #CharteredAccountants with leadership experience to help lead the profession over the next decade. Application deadline is 16 February. icaew.com/insights/viewp…

My interview in today's @FT - we must do all we can to make the #audit profession more attractive. If we want high-quality individuals in high-quality firms, regulation must be proportionate and professional judgements must be valued. ft.com/content/dccd4d…

Read my reflections on #COP28 and the role the #accountancy profession has in leading the global transition to #netzero. icaew.com/technical/sust…

The launch of the Perseus report at #COP28 this week is a pivotal moment. This will help #SMEs to fully engage in the drive to #netzero, by simplifying and automating emissions data in ways which are trusted and scalable. youtube.com/watch?v=dTDaBw…

(3/3) Almost six years on from Carillion, it’s important that reforms to #audit and #corporategovernance strike the right balance, not least to ensure that audit firms remain committed to involvement in the PIE market and the profession remains resilient.

(2/3) …and even without new legislation, the profession remains committed to working with the regulator to make voluntary changes. We strongly support proportionate standard setting and regulation, particularly re #SMEs, emphasising simplification and avoiding duplication…

(1/3) Strongly agree with @KemiBadenoch's letter to @FRCnews that enhancing trust and confidence in corporate governance, reporting and #audit is critical to maintaining attractiveness of UK business to international investors. FRC has taken major steps to drive up standards…

(4/4) …is firmly based on the high quality of corporate transparency, governance, reporting and #audit in this country. The government’s faint-hearted attitude to protecting and maintaining that reputation does the economy no favours.

(3/4) …This comes hard on the heels of the government’s surprise decision last month to scrap new draft reporting regulations which the regulator and the #accountancy profession had been working on for years. The attractiveness of the UK as a place to invest and do business…

(1/4) Carillion’s collapse almost six years ago marked a watershed moment for UK #audit and #corporategovernance, but it appears that the government’s promise of comprehensive reform will remain unfulfilled due to a lack of political will...
