A clearer path through crisis: ICAEW and BM&T’s Turnarounds guide

BM&T, in collaboration with ICAEW, has helped develop a vital new guide for navigating business turnaround — focused on timely, independent and ethical action.

In today’s challenging economic landscape, struggling businesses need clear, structured turnaround strategies. The ICAEW Turnarounds guide, co-authored with BM&T, offers a practical, principle-led framework to help companies act early, build trust with stakeholders and preserve value.

The guide emphasises the importance of:

  • early identification of distress signals
  • independence and objectivity in leadership and advice
  • clarity of purpose in turnaround planning
  • stakeholder alignment through transparent communication
  • ethical practice, particularly around conflicts of interest.

It outlines five stages of a turnaround — from recognising the need for change to post-recovery sustainability — and underlines how skilled, independent turnaround professionals can make the difference between failure and renewal.

This is not a legal manual, but a practical tool grounded in decades of experience. It serves finance professionals, boards and advisers who want to act decisively and responsibly before value erosion becomes irreversible.
