UK economic data reinforced expectations for an August Bank of England ("BoE") rate cut despite near-term inflation risks. Gross domestic product (“GDP”) unexpectedly contracted 0.1% in May, marking a second consecutive monthly decline, while first-quarter growth was revised up to 0.4%. Services grew modestly but falls in production and construction dragged overall output. Updated Office for National Statistics (“ONS”) data revealed higher-than-reported producer inflation, with input prices rising 0.6% in January. Monetary Policy Committee (“MPC”) member Alan Taylor warned of downside risks and urged faster easing. Business sentiment remained fragile, with BDO's hiring index at a 13-year low and Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (“ICAEW”) confidence at a three-year low. Yet, Royal Bank of Scotland reported a pick-up in services-driven private sector activity. Firms also flagged price hikes to offset payroll tax rises, highlighting persistent cost pressures...Stocks featured:BP, Glencore and WPPTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

UK economic data last week painted a mixed picture. Retail sales remained subdued, with BDO's High Street Sales Tracker rising just 0.6% year-on-year, marking six consecutive months of in-store sales growth trailing inflation. The construction sector continued to contract, although the Purchasing Managers' Index (“PMI”) improved to 48.8, its highest level since January. Encouragingly, first-quarter gross domestic product (“GDP”) growth was confirmed at 0.7% quarter-on-quarter - the fastest in the Group of Seven (“G7”) - yet this momentum is unlikely to be sustained amid falling living standards. The services sector experienced its fastest expansion in 10 months, with a PMI of 52.8, but job losses persisted. The Bank of England (“BoE”) maintained a cautious stance, with Governor Andrew Bailey reinforcing hopes for rate cuts in light of a softening labour market and mixed inflation signals...Stocks featured:British American Tobacco, Berkeley Group Holdings and Pershing Square HoldingsTo find out more about the investment management services offered by Walker Crips, please visit our website:https://www.walkercrips.co.uk/This podcast is intended to be Walker Crips Investment Management's own commentary on markets.

Trotz Clean Industrial Deal und Omnibus-Verordnungen der EU sind auch kleine und mittlere Unternehmen zunehmend mit der Anforderung konfrontiert, Nachhaltigkeitskennzahlen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Sei es für Banken, Versicherungen oder auch für berichtspflichtige Unternehmen, denen sie zuliefern. Doch an welchem Standard man sich dabei orientieren soll, das wird sich erst in einigen Monaten klären. Wie KMU der aktuellen Unsicherheit am besten – und pragmatischsten – begegnen und welche Schritte zu setzen sind, besprechen in dieser Folge Sanela Terko von der BDO und Theresa Weiglhofer-Troy vom Linde Verlag.

On this episode, Heather speaks with Damon Pike from BDO about how businesses, especially accounting professionals, can advise clients on managing the complexities of current tariffs. Damon highlights the critical need for companies to meticulously track customs duties.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Shireen Hilal discuss:Navigating modern law firm strategy in a rapidly evolving legal marketImproving internal operations and team culture to boost law firm performanceEnhancing client engagement and retention amid budget constraintsLeveraging cross-selling and business development tactics within law firms Key Takeaways:Law firms that prioritize understanding and responding to their clients' future needs instead of mirroring competitors can unlock unique opportunities for differentiation and growth.Clear and value-based billing practices—paired with proactive scope, time, and budget alignment—are essential to reinforcing client trust and maintaining healthy payment cycles.Structured programs like internal expert briefings and strategic client lunches can make cross-selling more natural and effective by focusing on solving client problems rather than pitching services.Communicating pricing changes with context and care rather than through generic finance memos helps strengthen client relationships and reinforces long-term loyalty. "The problem with obsessing about your competition instead of your clients is that, if you do, you are almost, by definition, falling in the middle. So the better way to get ahead, I think, is to be client-obsessed." —  Shireen Hilal Unlock the secrets of the industry's top rainmakers with Be That Lawyer: 101 Top Rainmakers' Secrets to Growing a Successful Law Practice.

Luca's journey from South Africa to breaking into M&A in London is a story of persistence and smart strategy. After studying accounting at Stellenbosch University, Luca moved to London to work as an auditor at BDO.

Dr. Keith Keating is the Workforce Futurist and Chief Learning Officer for BDO and the author of the books The Trusted Learning Advisor and his new book - Hidden Value: How to Reveal the Impact of Organizational Learning. In this episode, Paul and Keith explore the paradox facing Learning and Development teams today — at a time when the world is changing faster than ever and organizations need to adapt, many learning teams are facing budget cuts and layoffs. They delve into why the value of L&D often goes unseen, how teams can better communicate and create strategic value, and how organizations can move from seeing L&D as a cost center to a growth driver. Keith also introduces his "Value Creation Compass" — a practical framework for identifying and demonstrating learning's business impact across people, customers, resilience, and revenue. Along the way, Paul and Keith share war stories from inside organizations, debunk the myth that only easily measurable things matter, and discuss why L&D leaders must become problem solvers and storytellers to thrive in today's environment. Resources mentioned in this episode: Keith's new book Hidden Value: How to Reveal the Impact of Organizational Learning  Keith's previous book The Trusted Learning Advisor BDO - https://www.bdo.comHumanity Working is brought to you by BillionMinds - the company that makes employees ready for the Future of Work.BillionMinds helps companies be ready for the future of work by developing adaptable, resilient employees.

This week on The Art of SBA Lending, I sit down with the incredible Alan Peterson, BDO from First Internet Bank. Alan isn't just closing deals; he's redefining what it means to be a top producer in SBA lending, reaching over $30 million year-to-date and tracking towards an astonishing $120 million annually! Ray Drew and Alan dive deep into the mindset of a high-volume BDO, the strategic art of saying "no" to grow faster, and why true business value isn't always what it seems. They discuss navigating the complexities of deals, the crucial role of data and innovation in banking, and why being a trusted advisor is paramount.

Hello Rank Squad! It's that time of the year where amidst all the trophies being handed out, thoughts turn to who are the frontrunners in the race for the biggest individual prize in the game - France Football's yearly Ballon d'Or. Last year the award came with a whole thunderstorm of controversy, with Real Madrid boycotting the ceremony after Rodri won the top prize over Vinicius Jr. They probably don't need to worry that much this year - we'd be surprised if there were any Los Blancos stars anywhere near the podium - but the absence of both Vini and Rodri from the frontrunners opens up some interesting discussions. We dive deep on where we think the current positionings are for the likes of PSG's Ousmane Dembele, Gigi Donnarumma and Achraf Hakimi, as well as Barcelona's Lamine Yamal, Raphinha, and Pedri - as well as the individual pace-setters like Mo Salah, Lautaro Martinez, Kylian Mbappé, and Harry Kane; before we also take a quick look at the Kopa Trophy candidates in Part Three. Before that, there's a return for Things We Love, where Dean discusses a big summer ahead for Arsenal in the transfer market, and Jack takes a quick look at a wonderful season at Balaidos for Celta Vigo, under the stewardship of Claudio Giraldez. It's Ranks!  And remember, if you'd like more from the Rank Squad, including extra podcasts every Monday and Friday (including our weekly Postbox taking a look at the whole weekend of football) and access to our brilliant Discord community, then why not join us here on Patreon?

And it was Bryan who actually put ICT and BDO together back in October, after speaking with Alan Savage himself, so he was ideally placed to comment on all the goings on, and he's got some great one liners, which always helps. 1.31.05 BACK TO THE FUTURE Following events discussed in this podcast, Alan Savage confirmed he will advance discussions with a number of businesses to try and secure key funding. Presumably that would then form an official bid for the club. He said ‘the fog has lifted' and moves to secure a buyer can now be ‘rekindled.' Who might be part of his consortium? What are the Highland council meetings about? How quickly does all this need to happen in order to retain the football licenses with the SFA and SPFL, to retain the squad for next season? And we discuss Savage's comments about Caledonian Stadium and a potential move away from the banks of the Moray Firth. There's it. 

The Chase Just when we thought we were out, they dragged us back in. Back into the relegation fight and back into the administration struggle. The majority of this podcast was recorded on the evening of Sunday 16 March, the day before the BDO statement and the Alan Savage press conference. After a month's break we literally chose the worst time to come back. We did record some bonus chat on the Monday however, which we have dropped into the pod from 50 minutes, plus Savage's press conference in full from 1:49. Join Andrew Moffat, Stevie Riley, Andrew Young, Sandy Sutherland, Lee Tarling, and the Press and Journal's very own Paul Chalk to as they talk through the recent matches, look at the headlines, talk about some of the worst loan signings ever to darken our door, and what our chances are of survival. 00:00 Hello The boys discuss their thoughts on our league position. Are they happy to have finally got out of the bottom two? Worried we might drop back down? Looking forward to being mathematically safe? Or targeting play-offs? 08:27 Game by Game The unexpected defeat to Annan plus wins over Stenny, Dumbarton, Kelty, and Queen of the South. Who have been our star performers from the past month? 33:41 Scottish Football Headlines A new feature for the Wyness Shuffle as we look at the Scottish football headlines, which are: Scotland men's internationals to be shown live on BBC New Cumnock man named as part of interim Rangers management team Police open to discussions on football booze ban 50:20 The Club The panellists settle down to have a leisurely chat about the great place the club finds itself in, until… 50.50 ALERT ALERT: THE BDO STATEMENT Moff, Chalky and Stevie get together to discuss the worrying three page statement from the Administrators in which they outline the perilous state of affairs, the hurdles that need to be overcome and the shocking realisation that no bids had been made for ICT by the proposed deadline. 1:03:23 The Club: Player contracts, who stays and who goes, and congratulations to Musa 1:07:50 Talk to Me: Scott Young The Chairman joined Stevie on the Sunday to discuss the current operations of the club, difficulties that have been overcome and how everyone is pulling together in spite of the situation. 1:19:04 Commercial opportunities and sublime meals What is the most sublime meal you've ever had and do ducks have more personality than chickens? 1:29:13 Hi Ho Silver Here Come the Loan Rangers! We have had some absolute diddies over the years. We pick out some of the best and the worst, which might include Gregg Hood, Aiden Chipperfield, Roman Golobart, Tom Aldred and some other nefarious characters. 1:39:11 League Lookahead The remaining 7 league matches. How many points will we get and where will be finish. The boys put it all on the line. 1:49:27 BONUS: Alan Savage's Press Conference Alan Savage's 17 March press conference in full. 2:00: 26 Bye for now THE WYNESS SHUFFLE WILL RETURN, PROBABLY SOONER THAN EXPECTED AS WE COVER THE EVOLVING NEWS. 

When publicly traded companies release their financial results, the most interesting aspect of the conference calls have little to do with the numbers themselves and everything to do with trends across the market.Luis Avila, a managing director in BDO's technology and transformation practice, joins our Ross Wilkers for this episode that is also a note-swapping exercise of sorts. Both listened to the most recent round of GovCon investor calls in their respective roles of research and analysis, plus journalism.The Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, the race to technology superiority, supply chain health and wealth, and new entrants all were themes of those calls and feature in the conversation between Luis and Ross.Keep in mind throughout their conversation that government contractors have their own unique approach to transparency, given their customers have publicly available budgets and policy documents.Parsons explores 2 growth pathways for missile defenseLeidos eyes missile defense, border security tech as growth avenuesMaximus CEO sees tech modernization as opportunity in Trump's efficiency pushHow the CEOs of Booz Allen, L3Harris view DOGE's visionCACI's CEO weighs in on efficiency and acquisitionLockheed's CEO: Efficiency push is 'an opportunity' for both industry and government

Dette viser to nye juridiske utredninger fra KS.Et sterkt lokalt selvstyre og mindre statlig detaljstyring er avgjørende for at kommuner og fylkeskommuner skal tilby tjenester effektivt og klare de store omstillingene som er nødvendig når det framover blir mangel på både arbeidskraft og penger.På oppdrag fra KS har noen av Norges ledende jurister på området laget to rapporter. Holth & Winge, Sigrid Stokstad og Eivind Smith har undersøkt hva grunnlovsbestemmelsen og den nye kommuneloven betyr for det kommunale selvstyret.

What is the future of document generation in 2025, and how should businesses navigate the risks of AI? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Christian Lund, co-founder of Templafy, to explore how AI-powered document automation is reshaping productivity, compliance, and security in modern enterprises. As companies push for greater efficiency, many are adopting AI tools to streamline workflows. But AI's effectiveness depends heavily on context—and context is something you can't always rely on users to provide. Christian shares why most people approach AI like a search engine, entering a handful of keywords and expecting the right results. But would you brief a colleague with just a few disjointed words? Better briefs lead to better outputs, whether you're working with humans or AI.  This is where Templafy steps in, delivering AI-powered document generation solutions that integrate seamlessly with platforms like Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, and Salesforce. Trusted by over 800 enterprises, including KPMG, BDO, and Adobe, Templafy automates document creation while maintaining compliance and brand consistency—saving employees up to 30 days per year. We also dive into why the best automation happens when humans are less involved. Far from sidelining human input, this approach reduces compliance risks and frees employees to focus on high-value work that drives business growth. Christian explains how Templafy orchestrates AI models, data sources, and workflows to ensure optimal outcomes, from sales collateral to RFP responses. Plus, we explore future trends, including AI agents and stronger orchestration that allows businesses to stay in control of AI-powered processes. How can businesses balance the push for faster workflows with the need for secure, compliant documents? And what role will AI agents play in tomorrow's document generation landscape? Tune in to discover how Templafy is paving the way for smarter, safer automation.

De prijzen op de cryptomarkt zijn flink naar beneden gekletterd. Bitcoin verloor meer dan 10% sinds vorige week, en bij veel altcoins is de schade nog groter. Na een periode van zijwaartse beweging heeft de markt eindelijk een richting gekozen: naar beneden. Voor nieuwe beleggers kan dit schrikken zijn, maar ook in stijgende markten maakt Bitcoin soms dit soort duikvluchten, tot wel 30% vanaf de top. Bij ByBit werd afgelopen vrijdagmiddag voor 1,5 miljard aan Ethereum geroofd. Daarmee was het direct de grootste cryptohack ooit, in dollars gemeten. Tijdens een routine-transactie lukte het de hackers om ByBit te foppen. De ondertekenaars van de transactie kregen precies te zien wat ze verwachtten, maar onder de motorkap hadden de hackers hun eigen transactie verstopt. Gelukkig lijkt de exchange de klap op te kunnen vangen. Met aan zekerheid grenzende waarschijnlijkheid kunnen we de Noord-Koreaanse Lazarus Group aanwijzen als dader. Dat zijn de beruchte staatshackers die inmiddels een hele waslijst aan slachtoffers hebben gemaakt. Bijvoorbeeld de Indiase exchange WazirX, crypto game Axie Infinity, maar ook de hack van Sony in 2014, het WannaCry schandaal en een aanval op de centrale bank van Bangladesh. Het vervelende aan de Lazarus Group is dat ze geen haast hebben met het witwassen van hun tegoeden en niet open staan voor onderhandeling. ByBit gaat die tegoeden niet meer terugzien. De Amerikaanse beurswaakhond SEC laat ondertussen zijn rechtzaken tegen Coinbase en Uniswap varen. Deze twee rechtszaken gingen over het illegaal verhandelen van effecten. Bij Coinbase ging het om een grote exchange die tegen de regels van de SEC in allerlei crypto-effecten op hun platform heeft genoteerd. Maar er zijn helemaal geen duidelijke regels op dit gebied. Uniswap is het boegbeeld als we het hebben over decentrale exchanges. Daar zitten ontwikkelaars achter die een bedrijf vormen, en daar voerde de SEC een rechtszaak tegen. Die rechtszaak was een behoorlijke klap, omdat tot dat moment werd gedacht dat de decentrale wereld onaangeraakt zou blijven. UniSwap zelf noemt het een "enorme overwinning voor decentralized finance" en bevestigt dat deze technologie altijd aan de goede kant van de wet heeft gestaan. Het congres beweegt niet heel rap met het maken van duidelijke regels, maar de beginnetjes zijn er. De houding van de beurswaakhond is daar onderdeel van, maar ook het feit dat deze SEC nauwer gaat samenwerken met de CFTC, de waakhond voor grondstoffenmarkten. Vermoedelijk krijgt deze grondstoffenwaakhond het ook voor het zeggen in het domein van de memecoins. Het is nog wachten op echt duidelijke regels, maar de onzekerheid voor cryptobedrijven in de VS is wel weg, ook omdat de waakhonden inmiddels makke lammetjes zijn geworden. Deze week in de CryptocastEen gesprek met Marcel Koeslag van BDO en co-host Mauro Halve over het schenken en erven van crypto. We betalen in Nederland belasting over schenken en erven, dat is hopelijk geen nieuws. Maar bij crypto zitten er een aantal interessante kanten aan. Wanneer is een crypto-schenking definitief? En hoe neem je het overdragen van je vermogen in crypto op in je testament? Met Daniël Mol bespreken we elke week de stand van de cryptomarkt. Luister live donderdagochtend rond 8:50 in De Ochtendspits, of wanneer je wilt via bnr.nl/podcast/cryptocastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Schenk- en erfbelasting bij cryptovaluta: een vraag die bij veel Nederlanders speelt. Te meer omdat de fiscale regels zoals bij andere vermogenssoorten ook gelden voor digitale valuta. Maar hoe weet je zeker dat toekomstige generaties toegang hebben tot jouw crypto? En wat is wijsheid bij het schenken van Bitcoin of Ethereum? Marcel Koeslag, partner estate planning bij BDO, begint bij de basis van de Nederlandse regels voor schenkingen. Bij het schenken betaal je schenkbelasting, waarvan het tarief afhangt van je relatie tot de ontvanger én het bedrag. Er bestaan vrijstellingen, zoals de jaarlijkse vrijstelling voor schenkingen aan kinderen. Bij het bepalen van de waarde van de geschonken crypto, wordt gekeken naar de waarde op het moment van schenking, ongeacht eventuele latere schommelingen.. Voor internationale schenkingen en erfenissen worden zaken complexer. Als een erfgenaam of begiftigde in het buitenland woont, kunnen er dubbele heffingen ontstaan, afhankelijk van de belastingverdragen tussen Nederland en het betreffende land. Zo heeft België andere tarieven en vrijstellingen dan Nederland. Om dubbele heffingen te voorkomen, zijn er verschillende regelingen. Voor de bewijsvoering van schenkingen in crypto raadt Marcel aan om een schenkingsakte op te stellen. Hierin kunnen ook bepalingen worden opgenomen over wat wel en niet mag gebeuren met de schenking. In geval van discussie achteraf biedt zo'n akte juridische zekerheid. Daarnaast valt de geschonken crypto bij de ontvanger onder de vermogensbelasting in Box 3. Voor het beschermen van cryptovermogen is de keuze tussen privébezit en onderbrengen in een BV een afweging tussen Box 3 en Box 2 belasting. Het omslagpunt waarbij een BV voordeliger wordt, hangt af van verschillende factoren, waaronder de hoogte van het vermogen en de huidige belastingtarieven. Bij het nalaten van cryptovermogen is een testament cruciaal. Zonder testament bepaalt de wet wie wat erft. In het testament moet niet alleen aangegeven worden wie de crypto erft, maar ook hoe toegang verkregen kan worden tot de private keys. Dit kan bijvoorbeeld via een notaris of een vertrouwenspersoon die de benodigde informatie bij overlijden kan verstrekken. Over de toekomst van het belastingstelsel blijft het nog even gissen. Zowel Box 3 als de schenk- en erfbelasting staan op de nominatie om herzien te worden, maar concrete details zijn nog niet bekend. Co-host is Mauro Halve, head of compliance van Amdax.

Watch Here: https://youtu.be/ZCwj--I0XU0About the Guest: Alina Rivera is a business valuation expert and the founder of Advising Puerto Rico, a firm specializing in business advisory, financial planning, and fractional CFO services. With a background in auditing, forensic valuation, and advisory work for global firms like BDO, she helps business owners understand the true worth of their companies and prepare for growth, financing, and eventual exit. Rivera is also a strong advocate for using business valuation as a proactive tool rather than just a transaction necessity.Key Takeaways: Business Valuation as a Strategic Tool – Business owners often overestimate their company's worth. Regular valuations help align expectations and identify key value drivers.Exit Planning Should Start Now – Waiting until retirement or an emergency to prepare for an exit can result in financial disaster. A business should always be sale-ready.Puerto Rico as a Business Hub – The island offers tax incentives for companies that export services, making it an attractive option for entrepreneurs, including those in tech and finance.Fractional CFOs Drive Growth – Businesses earning between $1M-$10M benefit significantly from hiring a fractional CFO to manage cash flow, forecasting, and growth strategy.Common Valuation Mistakes – Owners often base their valuation on industry hearsay or personal financial needs rather than market data and financial fundamentals.Owner Dependency Kills Business Value – A company reliant on its owner for operations, sales, and decision-making is much harder to sell and less attractive to buyers.Financial Planning & Process Documentation – Having structured financial statements, KPI tracking, and documented workflows is critical for growth and eventual sale.The Risks of Poor Succession Planning – Businesses without a succession plan risk collapse when an owner unexpectedly leaves due to illness or other circumstances.--------------------------------------------------Contact Alina onLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/triveraa/Website: https://advising.global/--------------------------------------------------
