Opinion
Our regular Opinion section features letters from readers as well as columns from industry favourites, including …
This month’s cover feature looks at ways in which smaller accountancy practices survived and thrived in the recession, and with the threat of a double-dip recession on the horizon, outlines an action plan for smaller and medium-sized firms going forward.
The FTSE 100 auditors’ survey finds that statutory audit fees have risen, yet total fees paid to auditors have fallen. Accountancy delves into the figures and looks at who wins and who loses.
We take a look at the newly-created Office of Tax Simplification, and ask how straightforward will it really be to simplify the UK’s complex tax system.
Our regular Economic Trends columnist argues that ways to encourage business to deliver the government’s hoped-for economic growth need to be found, and soon.
Working Life
The recruitment industry has been particularly challenged over the last few years. Working Life talks to Paul Venables, FD of recruitment consultants Hays, on how Hays has survived the recession – and how he recruited his own boss.
Our regular fleet article looks at how small-scale fiddling of mileage expenses can result in large-scale costs to a business.
We also take a look at pension liabilities for employers who participate in a multi-employer final salary scheme.
Our resident headhunter Mark Freebairn explains why investor relations experience is so crucial for plc CEOs looking to pick an FD.
This month’s technology feature looks at how software and technology solutions can be used to reduce an organisation’s supply-chain risk.
Accountancy also brings you the latest people moves, career guidance, technology, and health advice this month.
PASS with Accountancy
This month we feature the names of all the newly-qualified ACAs who have just passed their exams.
Professional Briefing
Accountancy features the latest updates on international reporting, accounting solutions, tax and VAT updates, as well as our tax data and legal round-up pages.
We also look at the re-drafted IFRS 4, Insurance Contracts, and the impact of the changes to this accounting standard on the insurance industry.
Grant Thorton’s Mike Warburton examines possible changes to the controlled foreign company rules and how the issue is likely to fare given the government’s priority to reduce the deficit.
ICAEW
With all the institute news, president’s page, CEO’s letter, opinion pages and the regular disciplinaries page.
This month the magazine focuses on how the institute is working with universities to provide ‘employable’ qualifications ready for the world of work, taking a look at the accountancy certificates and degrees in partnership with the ICAEW currently on offer and practical work experience for undergraduates.
Adam Parker ACA, chief executive of PR company RealWire, talks about his campaign against ‘PR spam’.
In addition, the feature on the ICAEW FDs’ Excellence Awards focuses on those individuals who went that extra mile in their business and local community, featuring one finance professional recognised for the work he does in boosting financial literacy in schools and a FTSE 250 FD recognised for her work in driving her company’s responsible and sustainable business strategy.
