The latest PQ magazine has hit the streets, and we lead this month’s issue on how purpose not pay is what drives today’s accountants, and show how the talent shortages are affecting firms’ ability to deliver work and generate growth.
Check out the new issue at: https://issuu.com/pqpublishing/docs/pq_magazine_july_2026
In other news we highlight the fact that female AATs earn more than their male colleagues ‘sometimes’, how ICAS keeps its students connected, and why using AI at university shouldn’t be seen as cheating.
CIMA has launched Rise 2040, ACCA has increased exam fees, and ICB unveils its new plans for the future. Yes, there’s lots happening and we have it all covered!
We also have all the feedback from the ACCA June exams, take another look at AAT’s L4PAT qualification, and CIPFA’s Marc Rosato explains why audit matters, even when you don’t want to be an auditor.
And, you can meet the new chair and vice chair of the ICAEW Student Council – Sunny Yang and Sophie Armstrong.
Happy reading.
