I’m a great believer that every challenge is really an opportunity. It is no secret that employers are struggling to recruit staff with the right skills for their organisations. If we could find a way of resolving that shortage, companies would be able to grow more easily, and their employees would have more opportunities for professional advancement. AICPA & CIMA’s research into the future direction of the accounting and finance profession has highlighted the importance of continually learning , unlearning , and relearning skills. This is because the modern workplace is evolving rapidly as a result of digitisation and changes to working practices that developed during the pandemic, such as remote working. The productivity gains that could result from exploiting the opportunities of the new business environment make the process of continued upskilling worthwhile for both workers and their employers. Unfortunately, the skills gap — the disparity between the skills the workforce has and the skills employers need — is currently widening, according to AICPA & CIMA research released in February. In the UK, one of the markets I lead for AICPA & CIMA, we commissioned polling which found that 82% of SME employers identified skills gaps within their […]

A stack of colourful index cards. The initiative will require companies to collect and process personal data in order to report on ESG issues, which presents some challenges but, more importantly, gives organisations an opportunity to embrace digital transformation, writes David van Boven of law firm Allen & Overy. Efforts to bring about change in the areas of environmental, social and governance (ESG) and digital have traditionally been viewed separately and are therefore commonly approached in isolation. The EU’s Green Deal is paving the way for these strategies to cooperate more closely and trigger a cross-organisational rethink of the use and value of data. If done right, investment in data governance will not only assist with ESG compliance, but also has the potential to unlock a competitive advantage by leveraging data within a business. The EU’s Green Deal, in short, is the European Commission’s ESG strategy that aims to reach net-zero emissions in the bloc by 2050, and includes the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), which entered into force in January 2023. The Green Deal coincides with the EU’s digital strategy, which aims to make the EU fit for the digital age while helping to achieve its climate goals. […]
SHAWANO (NBC 26) — Starting a new business under normal circumstances is stressful for any young entrepreneur, but Alex Hartwig has an idea that’s taking off in Shawano, and she says it’s only getting better. Most young entrepreneurs put their plans on hold during the Coronavirus pandemic, but that didn’t stop Hartwig from opening The Blend on Main Street. The Blend opened its doors in July to women who were looking to get their first brick and mortar experience as a business owner. Hartwig says she had a successful career in health care, but she wanted to try something new that gave her an opportunity to be more flexible, and that’s why The Blend was born. Hartwig says she started with 14 women, and The Blend has already grown to 19 business owners. She says the goal is to get them established so they can eventually go out on their own. "It sounds silly is that’s the goal is for them to move out, but I want to create growth in the Shawano area. The downtown is just booming. I want these women to open up their own store in Shawano," Hartwig said. Hartwig said two of her vendors […]
