EDITOR'S COMMENTS
20th January 2012
As part of our strategy for 2012 we are expanding the ways in which our 52,000 readers can interact with FSN and benefit from the resources it provides. Firstly we have established a new linked in group to provide a forum for forward looking individuals to share the latest innovations and to promote the free unbiased exchange of ideas and best practice about anything that impinges on the systems and processes used by the finance function. We want to make it a place where you learn about the pressing issues of the day, read the latest news about financial products (successes and failures) and where you can get your questions answered by other finance professionals just like you. It is an ‘open’ group, i.e. all are welcome to join it – all you have to do is click on this link and press the “Join” button. If you are not already a Linkedin member then you will need to join Linkedin.
The other way of interacting with us is to get your news faster – almost as it happens – via Twitter. The best way of being kept in the picture is to follow FSN on Twitter. Again all you have to do to follow FSN is click on this link and press “Follow”.

Can business software cope with euro exits or the collapse of the currency?
27th January 2012
The euro experiment may fail. The currency may collapse. A country such as Greece, or Ireland, or Italy may decide to default on its debts or leave the euro. A return to the drachma, or the punt, or the lira could yet become a necessity. Peek-a-boo! It’s time to stop hiding behind the sofa. Because even if European politicians don’t want to remove their blinkers and acknowledge the need for a ‘plan B’, just in case the unthinkable happens and they have to ditch their grand plan, businesses must assess the risks they face and start making contingency plans.
