SINGAPORE, 16 March 2026 – Months before the current geopolitical crisis hit global markets, Asia Pacific (APAC) executives had begun shielding their businesses by shortening supply chains and focusing on regional trade. Forvis Mazars’ C-suite barometer 2026: Adapting in uncertainty shows this proactive approach, alongside with efficiency-driving AI investments, is now key to navigating today’s global...
The post-pandemic global economy has brought a fusion of challenges and opportunities to businesses worldwide. Having emerged from the grip of the Covid-19 crisis, the world finds itself combating a fresh round of challenges.
In a world that has become reliant on digital technology, most organisations’ current cyber security strategies are no longer enough to combat threats. Future-proof your business by understanding and mitigating cyber risks.
Our latest C-suite barometer shows that, while recognising the significant challenges of the past year, including inflation and economic instability, high energy prices, war and geopolitical tensions, leaders have a fighting spirit and positive outlook for 2023. Technology and sustainability stand out as their top two strategic priorities for the coming three to five years, with the C-suite investing...
At the end of 2021, our annual C-suite barometer surveyed over 1,000 executives around the globe, including around 200 from the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

Cyber threats are all around us. This is not paranoia, it’s an unfortunate reality: every day brings new hacks, new data leaks, new embarrassment – and new costs, both financial and commercial. Nobody is spared. The attacks target companies large and small, as well as public-sector institutions and individuals. How can organisations protect themselves?

While most businesses understand the importance of data, few are truly able to transform it into a competitive advantage. So, what sets the successfully data-driven apart from the rest? The critical ingredient is data maturity.
With governments in many countries around the world eager to support pandemic-hit economies with cheap money, interest rates have been kept low or reduced further. A low interest rate environment is challenging for banks who are expected to pass on rate reductions to borrowers but are restricted in their ability to reduce funding costs from already low-cost deposits. So, what are they to do?
In early 2020, Mazars decided to initiate a new C-suite barometer. We wanted to assess the views of C-suite leaders around the world on their activities and outlook for the coming year, understand how they manage and prioritise short- and long-term initiatives.
In the midst of a global pandemic, a majority of business leaders still expected growth in 2021. What else do they see on the horizon?
Financial institutions increasingly recognise that climate change and other environmental, social and corporate governance risks jeopardise the world’s economy and financial system.
Up against great economic and societal upheaval as a result of Covid-19, banks around the world continue to take sustainability seriously and firmly acknowledge the related risks and opportunities, for the market and wider stakeholders alike. For the second year running, Mazars publishes its responsible banking practices report to assess how banks embed sustainability into their commercial practices.
The COVID-19 situation is requiring a significant amount of collaboration, analysis, problem solving and responsiveness at a domestic and international level given the constantly unfolding situation. This approach is exactly the approach that needs to be adopted by business as well. The purpose of risk management and business continuity planning is to identify potential business risks and prepare...
