Podcast of the week
Following in the footsteps of most of its forebears, the UK Government just released a new industrial strategy. It has been covered widely in the press, but this week's podcast looks at it from the perspective of the professional services sector (included for the first time), and raises the prospect that the document might turn out to be much more effective than most of its predecessors.
It's from the Accountancy Insights podcast and the episode is called "Inside the Industrial Strategy and navigating VAT reform"
