Large companies in the EU which supply the American government have been told to comply with an executive order from President Donald Trump banning diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Companies with U.S. government contracts have been told to confirm their compliance in a questionnaire entitled "Certification Regarding Compliance With Applicable Federal Anti-Discrimination Law." The demand was sent out to firms by the U.S. embassy in Paris. The document said: “Department of State contractors must certify that they do not operate any programs promoting DEI that violate any applicable anti-discrimination laws and agree that such certification is material for purposes of the government’s payment decision and therefore subject to the False Claims Act.” The French foreign trade ministry said in a statement: “American interference in the inclusion policies of French companies — such as threats of unjustified tariffs — is unacceptable . . . France and Europe will defend their companies, their consumers, and also their values.” The letter was first reported by Les Échos newspaper.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon has announced that the U.S. Department of Education does not intend to honor any of the deadline extensions to spend COVID aid approved under the Biden administration. In a letter to state education leaders, she explained that “extending deadlines for COVID-related grants, which are in fact taxpayer funds, years after the COVID pandemic ended is not consistent with the Department’s priorities and thus not a worthwhile exercise of its discretion." The decision jeopardizes billions in planned projects across at least 40 states, including HVAC upgrades, tutoring contracts, and mental health programs. As of late February, about $4.4bn of $201.3bn remained in unspent funds from the three federal relief allocations under the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) fund approved by Congress. On Monday Joshua Michael, president of the Maryland State Board of Education, said that up to $418m is now at risk, including $305m that has already been spent and is yet to be reimbursed. The department said states can reapply for limited extensions if they prove the funds address pandemic impact. Elleka Yost, director of advocacy and research for the Association of School Business Officials, notes that school districts still will have to honor their contracts, which could mean cutting other budget areas. “Federal funding has become increasingly unpredictable for districts, making it very difficult for school business professionals to accurately forecast and plan,” she added.

Senate Republicans are set to request the Senate parliamentarian, Elizabeth MacDonough, to evaluate a plan to make President Donald Trump's 2017 tax cuts permanent. Critics warn this could lead to an additional $4.6tn in debt over the next decade. The Republicans, holding a slim 53-47 majority, are attempting to navigate a complex budget process to pass the tax cuts and spending increases for border security and military. Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) criticized the GOP's fiscal responsibility claims, saying: "Republicans love to talk about fiscal responsibility — until they're the ones in charge." If MacDonough rejects the plan, Republicans may consider extending the tax cuts for another 10 years or attempt to override her decision.

The Law Society of Scotland has joined international criticism of US government actions against legal professionals, both domestically and abroad. In a unanimous decision, its governing Council endorsed calls from the Law Society of England and Wales urging the US to uphold the rule of law and prevent interference in lawyers’ work. Recent US executive orders have stripped security clearances from lawyers at prominent firms and imposed sanctions on personnel of the International Criminal Court (ICC), including asset freezes and travel bans. Law Society of Scotland President Susan Murray called the developments "deeply alarming" and reaffirmed the legal profession’s duty to defend judicial independence worldwide.

The National Treasury Employees Union, which represents 150,000 U.S. government employees, has filed a lawsuit in Washington, D.C. federal court seeking to block President Donald Trump from stripping hundreds of thousands of federal workers of the ability to collectively bargain with government agencies through their unions. The union said that Trump's recent executive order exempting more than a dozen agencies from collective bargaining obligations violates federal workers' labor rights and the U.S. Constitution.

Engineering services company John Wood Group has identified "cultural failings" as a key issue following an independent investigation by Deloitte, which revealed that crucial financial information was withheld from auditors. The firm is unlikely to meet the deadline for publishing its full-year results, risking suspension of its London-listed shares. Deloitte's findings highlighted "material weaknesses and failures" in the financial culture of Wood Group's projects business, including "inappropriate management pressure" and a lack of evidence for accounting judgements. The company anticipates significant adjustments to its income statements and balance sheet for the past three financial years. Chief financial officer Arvind Balan resigned last month after he admitted to providing an incorrect description of his qualifications. Wood Group now says it is committed to a "detailed remediation plan" to improve its financial governance and controls. The firm is also in takeover discussions with Sidara, which previously made a £1.6bn offer before withdrawing due to market uncertainties.

Over 15% of chief financial officers at listed companies in the U.K. and U.S. departed their roles last year, marking the highest turnover rate in six years, according to research from Russell Reynolds Associates. The average tenure of CFOs has decreased from 6.2 years to 5.8 years in 2024, largely due to a high retirement rate. The average retirement age has declined to 56.6 years. Additionally, 70 out of 275 CFOs appointed last year were women, the highest proportion in six years, with 54% being internal appointments. "We’re at a point where the supply, demand dynamic is getting concerning,” said Jim Lawson, co-leader of executive search and leadership advisory firm Russell Reynolds Associates’ CFO practice. “Classically-trained” CFOs are making the move to retirement, and “that is really limiting the pool of candidates moving forward,” he added.
