Finance Monthly. Editor’s Note Navigating the Complex Terrain of Finance in Unprecedented Times Dear Readers, Welcome to the September edition of Finance Monthly, a beacon of insight, innovation, and pragmatic advice in an increasingly complex financial landscape. As the seasons transition, so do the challenges and opportunities in finance. In this issue, we explore various elements that are at the forefront of shaping the financial industry, from the role of CFOs in shaping the future to essential guides on estate planning. CFOs: Stewards of the Future As financial landscapes become more intricate, the role of CFOs is evolving beyond number crunching. We delve into how today’s CFOs are stepping up as strategic partners in their organizations, looking beyond spreadsheets to drive value and predict future trends. Actionable ESG: More Than Just a Buzzword The environment, social governance, and sustainability are no longer sidelined discussions but central to corporate strategy. Our feature examines how CFOs are actively integrating ESG considerations into financial planning, not as an afterthought but as a core element of their role. Regulatory Watch: Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) In a world where digital transformation is speeding up, resilience against cyber threats is more critical than ever. In a fascinating interview with Parva Consulting, Luxembourg, we provide an analysis of the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which aims to equip you with a better understanding of what it means for financial institutions and how they can comply. An Essential Guide to Estate Planning Estate planning is often shrouded in complexity and discomfort. In this edition, we demystify the process, offering an in-depth interview with Clive Barwell, an expert in the field, who walks you through each critical step to ensure that your legacy is managed as you intend. Front Cover Feature: Insolvency and Restructuring Our cover story features an exclusive interview with Claire Middlebrook of Middlebrooks Insolvency Practitioners.
