How can you protect your company from high inflation?

As inflation creates uncertainty in Turkey, corporate decision makers are working on plans to mitigate the consequences. The best companies elevate the role of accounting, finance and legal functions, improve the customer experience, develop more sophisticated pricing models, and build resilient operations.

At the webinar prepared by the British Chamber of Commerce in Turkey on October 18th, 2022, BCCT Members, Cerebra CPAs & Advisors along with Pekin Bayar Mizrahi and partner Norton Rose Fulbright will discuss the effects of inflation and the critical measures companies should consider to minimise its adverse consequences, from the perspectives of accounting and law.
