Specialist commentary on the regulatory, tax, M&A, and digital developments shaping business across our seven key markets.
India's GST framework has matured into one of the world's most digitally sophisticated tax ecosystems. From real-time e-invoicing to AI-driven scrutiny, businesses that fail to harness technology for compliance face mounting risks — and those that do unlock unprecedented strategic advantages.
Australia's regulatory environment has undergone fundamental change since 2023. Mandatory climate disclosures, enhanced ASIC enforcement, and sweeping director liability reforms are reshaping how international businesses structure their Australian operations.
American CFOs are deploying AI at a pace that is fundamentally reshaping what finance functions do — and who does it. From autonomous close processes to AI-generated board narratives, the transformation is deeper and faster than most predicted.
With bilateral trade flows recovering and Canadian pension capital actively seeking Indian infrastructure and technology assets, the India-Canada investment corridor offers compelling opportunities — alongside regulatory complexity that demands specialist navigation.
New Zealand consistently ranks among the world's easiest places to do business. But its strategic value as an Asia-Pacific regional headquarters goes beyond procedural simplicity — the country's tax treaty network, governance reputation, and talent base make it a genuinely compelling location for structuring regional operations.
South Africa's investment environment has stabilised since 2023, and the country's combination of sophisticated capital markets, a skilled professional workforce, and a gateway position to sub-Saharan Africa makes it a compelling location for regional operations. Understanding B-BBEE compliance and SARS's evolving enforcement posture is essential for any foreign entrant.
Five years after Brexit, the United Kingdom's independent regulatory and tax framework has matured into a distinct regime that offers both compelling opportunities and new obligations for international businesses. From HMRC's Making Tax Digital programme to the National Security and Investment Act, understanding the new landscape is essential.
