FOCUS - Summer 2002
Introduction - By Patrick McBratney
Welcome to the summer edition of Focus, the quarterly performa newsletter, which will keep you abreast of industry developments and events in the world of GIPS and indeed with the services and growing structure of Performa.
As it is the season for growth, I am pleased to report that Performa is growing appropriately along with the client list. You may have attended our recent party to celebrate moving into new premises in Lombard Street but you may not be aware that as a result of expansion in the development and technical support teams, they too have relocated to a larger office in Clerkenwell. They continue to develop innovative ideas and products to ensure that PerformaGlobal remains the premier system to assist Firms in achieving and maintaining GIPS compliance, and they provide the level of support upon which we place so much importance.
This edition's industry comment comes from Roy Stockell, Partner at Ernst and Young. Roy raises the interesting subject of GIPS from a CEO's perspective asking how concerned they are about it and what can be done to raise its profile. I hope that you find this and the rest of the newsletter interesting and that you enjoy the rest of the summer.
