Trade concerns add to currency volatility
There are turbulent times afoot for businesses around the world. With geopolitical tensions rising and trade relationships shifting, businesses operating internationally may face some challenges.
How does this uncertainty affect the process of paying staff based in other countries? And how can you ensure you get the best rates for cross-border transactions?
These are the kind of questions international businesses will be asking more frequently over the coming year, and we could be experiencing choppy waters for a while.
Strong business partners can make all the difference to keep your operations running smoothly despite this uncertainty. Accountants play a key role, but so does a trusted FX and cross-border payments provider.

Time to review your professional indemnity insurance?
As a CA, you’ll be used to renewing your professional indemnity insurance every year, perhaps shopping around for a good deal. But when was the last time you reviewed your cover? The professional indemnity market has been through challenging conditions over the past few years so you may have allowed your cover to roll over from the previous year. However, with a more stable market, it’s a good time to review your cover at your next renewal.
The protection provided by professional indemnity insurance can vary greatly. As an accountant it’s important you have cover for all civil liabilities. This could include libel and slander, breach of statutory duty and of intellectual property rights.
If you’re unsure where to start or would like some guidance, it is a good idea to use an insurance broker. Marsh Commercial is a broker that specialises in insurance for professionals, providing risk management advice and supported by an in-house claims team.
It is also important to discuss with your broker if you plan to broaden the range of services you will offer to your clients. Some activities can present additional risks, so you will need to ensure you are covered correctly.
For a review of your existing professional indemnity insurance or a new quote, contact Marsh Commercial’s Glasgow team on 0330 818 2204 or complete an online form and we’ll call you. They can also provide advice regarding other business insurance, including office and cyber cover
