The Need For Change

This was an external, global, regulatory change Burberry needed to adopt in order to be compliant with leases, named International Financial Reporting Standard 16 (IFRS 16). This affected not only the Finance function but others too, such as Procurement, Legal, Marketing, IT and Supply Chain.

We were called in to support the delivery of this change from impact assessment to readiness, educating all impacted colleagues.
