10 July 2019

Main points

  • The cover story for the July/August issue of The CA addresses the factors that are transforming the banking sector. Can the big players learn to adapt and see off the new contenders?
  • Change at a personal level is also a theme for this issue, as we hear the stories of CAs who made life-changing career decisions.
  • The July/August magazine also looks at farming post-Brexit, corporate culture and whistleblowing, and we meet financier turned tech entrepreneur Douglas Lawson CA.

Robert Outram, Editor of The CA, rounds up what's inside the July/August issue of the magazine.

The banking sector, so long dominated by a handful of giant players, is facing major changes. Our cover story for the July/August issue of The CA magazine looks at the future of banking and how the industry is being affected by technology, changing consumer expectations and the emergence of new competitors. Do the incumbents have what it takes to see off the challengers?

Also in this issue, we look at personal change, with stories from CAs around the world about the moments when they made career-changing decisions. The Interview this month features Douglas Lawson CA, who faced his own turning point when he decided to quit private equity to set up his own tech startup, Mark To Market.

Careers in the arts also take the spotlight, as we talk to ICAS members working in different sectors of the visual and performing arts about how well numbers and creativity mix.

Your July/August magazine also includes a feature article on the future of farming and rural estates after the UK leaves the Common Agricultural Policy. The farm payments regime is set to change but will food security or environmental sustainability be the top priority?

We also feature findings from a study commissioned by ICAS into attitudes to whistleblowing, which finds that a supportive corporate culture is crucial in enabling individuals to take an ethical stand.

The Q&A profile this month is Rohan Sharma CA, Head of Commercial Strategy with online platform Travelport, and the Last Word comes from Michael Johnson of workplace savings specialists Smarterly, who argues that employees could be better helped to save by using the Lifetime ISA as a vehicle.
