"Clearly, the companies that respond the quickest are the ones that are going to be most TRUSTED, most liked by their customer base".
(#99). Accounting and finance professionals work with numbers as well as people, and sometimes the situation with the numbers can cause difficult, stressful conversations. We hear from Allister Manson of Opus Restructuring LLP about tech, trust and transparency. He discusses how business and accounting professionals are integral to building trust – not just trust in financial information, but also trust in the integrity of the code and in the collection, retention and security of our data and personal information.
