As part of its response to the government’s consultation on audit and corporate reforms, ICAEW has also produced a series of four ‘In Focus’ podcasts examining different aspects of the White Paper.
Hosted by ICAEW’s Managing Director for Reputation and Influence Iain Wright, each podcast features expert guests discussing a specific topic covered by the consultation, which proposes sweeping changes that will have a profound impact on the way corporate Britain operates.
