Insights on Leadership
Women in Finance: Leading Teams Through Change
Our October 2025 “Women in Finance: Leading Teams Through Change” webinar delivered a clear message: leadership today is as much about human skills as it is about technical expertise.
Networking is now more important than ever. With remote working, our networks have shrunk; we must renew our existing networks and build new ones. Kingsley Aikins understands the transformative power of networking, the ‘glue’ that makes everything happen
The profession of accountancy is changing—and faster than ever before. Chartered Accountants Worldwide’s flagship series, Difference Makers Discuss, is back for its third season, bringing together six remarkable conversations with leaders who are shaping the future of our profession.
In today’s climate of economic uncertainty, digital disruption, and eroding institutional confidence, Chartered Accountants are recognised by finance and business decision makers as one of the world’s most trusted professions. According to the fifth wave of the Trust Survey conducted by Edelman DXI for Chartered Accountants Worldwide (CAW), the profession ranks third globally for trust, just behind doctors and engineers – and significantly ahead of other accountancy qualifications.

In this special edition of Difference Makers Discuss, recorded for the Chartered Accountants Worldwide UAE community, host Carla Wilson is joined by international tax specialist Hugo van Zyl and HR leader Sarah Brooks. Together they unpack the tax, payroll, and governance risks of letting employees work across borders, along with the practical steps every organisation should take.
Understanding climate risks – what you need to know. This webinar explored practical insights and application considerations relating to climate-related risks and opportunities in Australia and New Zealand as well as consideration of Australia’s national climate risk assessment, the country’s net zero sector plans, and a case study on Suncorp NZ’s approach to climate risk management.
Have you ever been told to keep your head down, work hard, and let your good work speak for itself? It sounds like solid advice. It’s also, according to Kingsley Aikins, pretty much the worst career guidance you can get.
