What’s inside… FAnews Magazine August 2020
Another fantastic read… and not only because we give you high level CPD content, but because we have covered all the various industry issues relevant at the moment. For now quite a lot of our articles are Covid-19 related, just because it is so part of our lives… but all indications are that we can slowly but surely talk less about the new normal and more about a better version of life as we knew it before the pandemic hit. Will life ever be ‘normal’ again? I suppose only time will tell… In the meantime, enjoy the August 2020 edition. If you are not part of the over 15 600 registered CPD users, you are missing out, because we make it easy for you. This edition is packed with high-level, well researched content and we are proud of an excellent final product.
