Editor's note

A green sheen without a red face
It’s official: companies understand the importance of sustainable credentials. SAS's conference, The Premier Business Leadership Series, had key speeches and announcements about how firms have no choice but to be sustainable and how to audit their green credentials properly. So we've hopped aboard the sustainability wagon. This week law partner Paul Sheridan comments on how environment regulation has changed and its future effects on company policies. Going green is all very well but companies need to stay out of the red too, so we also have a story examining the changes in audit regulations and how to keep costs down. Then, in the first of two parts, the Hackett Group assesses how to decide on cuts to your general and administrative costs as recessionary pressures bite. And in the first of a series of stories from CIMA, Richard Mallett the technical director of the innovation and development team, argues that the debate about changing how fair value is recorded has dangers from an international perspective.
