SUMMARY:GSB Webinars: "The critical role of integrated thinking and reporting during the current socio-economic crises" with Assoc. Prof. Mark Graham
DESCRIPTION:Integrated reporting (IR) holds businesses accountable for their impact on people and the environment\, there seems to be tremendous benefit to organisations that commit to IR and do it well. Studies have shown that companies that adopt integrated reporting practices actually outperform those that do not\, and also have more long-term investors.IR is the way of the future. It is changing the way we think about capitalism and the world of business – not in terms of how much money an organisation is making\, but what value it is creating. By getting business managers and CEOs to think about their company in terms of its sustainability. \nWe invite you to join us for a free webinar with Mark Graham\, Associate Professor at the University of Cape Town\, Graduate School of Business (UCT GSB). He is a former Head of the College of Accounting at UCT and currently teaches on the MBA\, EMBA and various Executive programmes at UCT GSB. Mark is also the current chair of the adjudicating panel for the annual EY Excellence in Integrated Reporting Awards. \nOn Wednesday\, 15 July 2020 he unpacks the critical role that integrated thinking and reporting can play during the current socio-economic crises. Quite aside from the initial objective of integrated reporting to hold businesses accountable for their impact on people and the environment\, there is tremendous benefit to organisations that commit to IR and do it well. Studies have shown that companies that adopt integrated reporting practices actually outperform those that do not\, and also have more long-term investors. \nTo attend\, RSVP here.

SUMMARY:GSB Webinars: "Coronavirus – the broader economic implications" with Prof. Barry Standish
DESCRIPTION:The potential economic and financial impact of COVID-19 is likely to be dramatic and far-reaching\, however\, to date\, there has been little consideration of the broader economic implications of this crisis. \nWe’d like to invite you to join us for a free webinar with Barry Standish on Wednesday\, 15 April that will delve more deeply into this important topic. \nBarry will take us through his unique analysis of the situation\, arguing that the economic impact of the pandemic cannot be seen in isolation from both short trends in local and international economies and existing structural weaknesses in international economies. \nThe webinar will position the rise of the pandemic in the context of the 2019 economic landscape and will compare the key features of this crisis to those of other recent economic crises. The discussion will close by considering the economic implications of potential policy options. \nBarry is director and partner of the consulting company StratEcon\, a specialised economics consultancy with economic modelling as the core competency. He is also is visiting Professor of Economics at the Rotterdam School of Management\, Erasmus University in the Netherlands and was formally a senior economist at the UCT Graduate School of Business. \nTo attend\, RSVP here.
