Beyond Finance
Answering the big questions
Each month, subscribers to ICAEW's podcasts get two episodes: one on the latest goings on in the world of business, finance and accountancy, and one deep dive into a big topic.
It’s useful, relevant, easy to follow, and delivered to you on your favourite podcast app, in the style of a conversational current affairs show.
In each episode, we aim to cover the key issues that accountants and finance professionals need to know about:
- What’s going on with corporate reporting?
- How do you use AI safely?
- What are the essential skills that accountants need to develop?
- How big is the fraud threat for accountants?
- How do you join the c-suite?
Each episode counts as around 30 minutes of CPD – that’s an hour of CPD per month, 12 hours a year.
