Blackberry’s fourth-quarter results include up to 29 February, which is just before Covid-19 triggered a sell-off of US stocks.

In the previous quarter Blackberry – which now focuses on software and internet of things devices – outperformed analysts’ expectations.

The effects of the virus have been felt acutely by businesses around the world, with many employees forced to work remotely, projects postponed and some shutting down operations completely.

With physical gatherings prohibited in many countries around the world online events have come to prominence.

Among the speakers in BDO’s webinar are tax partners for the retail and wholesale sector and an employment tax director. Spaces are full, but a recording will be made available to those that sign up.
