The world is changing – and so is the role of chartered accountants. Our major content series explores how chartered accountants are helping to tackle some of the most urgent social challenges within the UN Sustainable Development Goals, and considers how the profession could do even more in the future. Are you ready?
Our final theme looks at the power of capitalism and how we all have a role to play in making it work better. It examines the vital role that chartered accountants play in this transition, particularly in helping everyone else understand how to continually refine and improve it, and how this issue will shape the profession for the next decade and beyond.
