Zombie SPACs and Blood Baths - Why you should care? This panel will discuss recent SPAC market challenges, SEC regulatory activity related to SPACs, what changes in the deSPAC process have occurred as a result and where it believes the SPAC market is headed, including the tough choices for SPACs with less than 3-4 months of their 24 month life left (“Zombie SPACs"); and the potential for a return of funds “blood-bath” if many SPACs do reach end of life without a deSPAC transaction.

Modern slavery is a significant issue worldwide, and is pervasive in supply chains. In a time of pressure resulting from rising inflation, supply chain issues, and other spiralling costs, businesses are struggling to keep costs low and find the workers they need. In some cases, this means greater bargaining power for workers; in others, it means greater numbers of people being coerced, heightening the risk of modern slavery. Chartered Accountants need to be aware of this risk and know what to look out for. They also need guidance on how to act.
