As we publish our July/August edition, we are closing the door on the first half of 2021. In this issue we look at a breadth of topics, from a feature on plugging the trade finance gap, which explores the latest in trade finance from across Asia Pacific to the latest in risk and regulation.
Elsewhere we continue with our acclaimed series of profiles of senior women from across the industry. July/August’s This Much I Know feature looks at Louise Watts who is a leadership coach and future of work expert jointly running her own business with Karen Thomas from Sydney, Australia. We also catch up with another Sydney based Australian business leader, Jonathon Hirst, Corporate Treasurer of SunRice, who is the subject of this issue’s Corporate View.
Our Adam Smith Awards Asia are open for nominations as of June of this year and we welcome submissions from across the Asia-Pacific region that demonstrate commitment to original ideas and unique collaborations. Our nomination forms are online along with a list of all this year’s categories which include some which are new for 2021! Nominations will close in September and we look forward to seeing many engaging submissions from across different industries, locations and company sizes.
We look at the impact of new US corporate tax laws and how this impacts corporates operating across APAC. We also assess the risk management landscape and latest developments in the region as well as a deep dive on regulation.
We hope you enjoy the latest issue, stay safe amidst the ongoing pandemic and invite you to please consider nominating yourself in the Adam Smith Awards Asia.
