Why tackling the energy crisis calls for collective action

July 11, 2022 - Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has in a few short months altered our view of energy security forever. Governments, consumers and producers around the world are scrambling to adapt, while at the same time facing mounting pressure to drastically reduce the environmental impact of the energy we use and address a global supply chain crunch. Meeting the goals of security, sustainability and accessibility – the energy trilemma – is more difficult and more crucial than ever.

Why Energy Sector Cybersecurity Is Essential

October 27, 2021 - With cyber attacks on the rise, energy companies should plan now for the nightmare scenario. The global energy sector is more interconnected, automated and digitized than ever before. But despite these technological advances, most energy companies are still largely unprepared to defend against cyber attacks — a vulnerability that grows more dangerous every day.

The roadmap to a low cost, secure, low carbon future, or simply high level ambition?

APRIL 8, 2022 - Against the backdrop of global gas supply issues, the need to accelerate progress on net zero, soaring inflation and a cost of living crisis, the Energy Security Strategy is critical for Government to demonstrate delivery on its political agenda in the energy sector. However there are little in the way of quick wins, and a huge amount of work for the sector to meet these ambitious new targets.

It’s a New World for CFOs - FTI Consulting CFO Survey Report 2021–2022

January 10, 2022 - CFOs are busy and faced with increasing demands on their limited time. The difference from previous years lies in the new environment in which they are operating, where CFOs are finding new challenges around each turn. Amidst all the “traditional” areas that CFOs must lead, there’s a new list of responsibilities and the added pressure of fostering culture and engagement that is amplified with a remote and virtual workforce. CFOs must adapt to the ever-increasing “doing more with less,” but now in a new environment.

Emerging Danger – A New Net Zero Industry?

January 11, 2022 - The UK Government’s Net Zero Strategy could offer major opportunities to fraudsters, as demonstrated by the Government’s own figures on stimulus fraud during the pandemic. These suggest that, for example, £5.2bn (or 8.7%) of the £60bn paid out under the furlough scheme was lost to fraud and error. In addition, 11% of the £47bn of Bounce Back loans paid by banks related to fraud, resulting in a £4.9bn cost to the taxpayer. The total losses from stimulus fraud are likely to be much higher.
