Description: With more sunshine expected throughout August we must look back to 1976 when temperatures rose to some of the highest on record in the UK which also coincided with rampant inflation as well. The latest Bank of England rate rise along with their forecast of inflation hitting 13% by March 2023 is a way off the 16.5% inflation in 1976. And to add to our Back to the Future review the South East is introducing hosepipe bans as drought conditions take over. In this month’s edition of the magazine, we have Dale Critchley from Aviva looking at how DWP are turning up the heat on stewardship. James Burton from LexisNexis examines how rising fraud demands a fresh focus on identity management. Alex White from Redington has a fresh look at what has been a tough first half of the year for investors. Our other regular authors also give their insights beneath sweltering brows on our industry. I trust that if you are enjoying the sunshine here in the UK or elsewhere you enjoy this month’s edition of the magazine, and we look forward to welcoming you back again next month.
