Your company, your employees and your customers are likely to be facing challenges in these uncertain times. Geopolitical events, natural disasters, climate effects and inflationary pressures continue to drive uncertainty across the globe.
Such uncertainty brings numerous issues and risks for companies, including shifts in consumer demand, disrupted supply chains, staff shortages and increased market volatility.
These articles, blogs and podcasts explore the potential accounting and disclosure implications for your company.
In addition, our dedicated Clear on climate reporting digital hub provides additional resources to help you identify the potential financial statement impacts for your business of climate-related risks and opportunities.
And KPMG’s Global Economic Outlook identifies and discusses some of the risks – and opportunities – that are facing governments and organisations in selected economies, which may help you to better understand what the short-term future may hold, and to consider the potential financial reporting implications.
