When you’re the head of a large corporation or other
organization, you can bet that you’re going to have to deal with a lot of
matters pertaining to financial services. Sometimes, you get so used to dealing
with such matters that, even once you leave the organization, you still can’t
stop chiming in with fiscal advice, as is the case with Mark Thompson, the
former director general for the BBC.
Amid reports that the National Audit Office is requesting
greater control of and access to the BBC’s financial information, Thompson
spoke up. He voiced concern over the increased control and access over the
organization and spoke to his belief that a “very strong and independent BBC”
was the way to go.
Thompson’s opinion may matter to some, but he has little say
in what the organization does these days. Thompson left the BBC—and some say
should have left concerns over its financial services—last year. He served
eight years with the organization and now works as the chief executive for the
New York Times Company.
Regardless of what you think of Thompson’s advice, keep in
mind that, if you’re a business owner, you do have to give some thought to who
has financial access to your business. The
friendly professionals at Platinum Financial Associates of Naperville can help
you to make big financial decisions, so call on them for advice and support.
