The start of a new year is always an exciting time and, as fresh-faced students start to return in earnest over the next month, the buzz around campus can be a reminder of why we do the job we do, and the responsibility of resourcing an institution that will shape their (and by extension all of our) futures.
Hopefully you will have had a chance to unwind and relax properly at some point over the ‘summer’, and are feeling, if not fresh-faced, then at least fresher than you felt in June. Those of us who have seen many Septembers in the sector will now be familiar with the cycle of financial reporting conformity, and our first article from FRG chair Mary White brings us up to speed with current issues and challenges. Remember that all the latest resources are available from the Financial Reporting pages on the website.
In our remaining articles, Amanda talks about the challenges of BUFDG finding the balance of online and face-to-face courses and encourages members to ‘get back in the water’ for some forthcoming events. Joni talks about the sector’s new Cost of Net-Zero calculator, and BUFDG’s September webinar on how to make use of it. Andrea and Julia preview the plethora of employment and other taxes events for this year, and Matt asks you and your teams to save the date, and maybe get involved, in the 2024 Finance Festival.
