                                                   In a world of trade tariffs, geopolitical tension and shifting regulation, some businesses have quietly stepped back from their sustainability commitments by deprioritising net zero targets, scaling back ESG programmes, and waiting for things to change. It may be the most expensive mistake they make.   That was the central message from ACCA's annual Sustainability Conference, held on Earth Day, a virtual event attended by finance professionals from over 100 countries. The argument put forward was not a moral one. It was a financial one: organisations that fail to embed sustainability into their core strategy are accumulating risk, and in many cases, that risk is already materialising.   ‘Your sustainability strategy is not something that sits on the side,’ said Sharon Machado, Head of Sustainable Bu...

        A unique and thought-provoking addition to the Pakistani film industry, “Psycho” is all set for a global release on May 27, 2026, coinciding with Eid-ul-Adha. The film is being described as a serious, psychological, and thematic project that moves beyond conventional commercial cinema to explore the complexities of the human mind.  The story revolves around the idea that reality is not always simple or absolute; rather, it is shaped by power dynamics, social pressures, personal interests, and hidden motivations. Within this framework, the line between truth and perception becomes increasingly blurred. The film’s central message — “the real enemy lives in the mind”, serves as its philosophical core, encouraging audiences to reflect on their inner selves. Produced by Suleman Butt, CEO of Red Lipstick Productions, “Psycho” integrates advanced technology, high-quality cinematography, international-standard visual effects, and global storytelling techniques....

        Leading global accountancy body questions whether the traditional limited liability company is  right  for the future   ACCA (The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) argues that it’s time for an alternative to the traditional limited liability company.  An ACCA report  argues that the legal form of the limited company leads to a damaging single focus  on financial results at the cost of the environment and communities and societies who expect businesses to  serve them.   Building future business investigates switching from current business models – which prioritise shareholders – to models that measure financial results as part of an interconnected web of factors.   Jason Piper, head of tax and business law, ACCA, said: ‘The conflict between the financial imperative and the concrete impacts of business on society and the environment are too great to ignore. Economic activity is supposed to benefit socie...
