According to some estimates, most remote employees use at least two employer-assigned devices, and a smaller percentage use three or more. In general, the more devices in use, the greater the potential for loss or theft.

The purpose of any forecast is to provide the closest possible snapshot of the future for business teams to plan and budget their activities. In essence, a good forecast is determined by its flexibility to evolve as per the changing conditions instead of sticking to the same initial projections across the financial period. As such, rolling forecasts are a solid first step towards agile planning and budgeting for organizations looking to become more reactive and adaptive to change.
Speaker: Dave Sackett
Traditional budgeting and forecasting methods can no longer keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving business environment. Static budgets, rigid annual forecasts, and outdated financial models limit an organization’s ability to adapt to market shifts and economic uncertainty. To stay ahead, finance leaders must leverage a future-forward approach—one that leverages real-time data, predictive analytics, and continuous planning to drive smarter financial decisions.

A complementary or compensating tax to the sales tax, it’s required to be paid by the buyer in cases where the seller does not collect sales tax.

Tax policy is used to influence behaviour as well as to collect revenue. One example where this is the case is the company car tax rules which tax high emission cars heavily and reward drivers for choosing electric and low emission models. Why emissions matter for tax?

Insider fraud is most commonly detected in companies through a tip, either from an employee, a customer, a vendor, or an outside party. Anonymous hotlines are excellent tools for reporting fraud, but management must have a plan for evaluating these tips. Some tipsters are okay with revealing their identities from the start. Others fear retribution or damage to their own reputations, so they prefer anonymous reporting.
