It’s more important than ever for firms to address diversity and inclusion (D&I). As this content series explores, beyond the clear moral imperative of D&I, there are growing legal and commercial imperatives as well. Every chartered accountant has a role to play in helping to encourage an inclusive profession.
Fairness
Underpinning any effort to create a more inclusive culture is the notion of fairness. Being fair, however, is about more than giving everyone an equal opportunity. It’s about equity; about realising that someone’s background will affect their ability to take advantage of any opportunity and providing the requisite support to close that gap.
