The CEO has gone but has the board been held to account?

It hasn't. It might happen if the entire board is removed at the AGM.

That's BS because the page on the CPA Australia website that I referred to was also missing and is back now. So unless they managed to have a technical glitch that selectively removed a single page from the CPA Australia website at the exact same time the other technical glitch happened then it's t...

Today we are also announcing that Adam Awty is leaving CPA Australia after 18 years to pursue other career opportunities. Adam has been interim CEO since June 2017. His former Chief Operating Officer Commercial role has been made redundant and he will receive a redundancy payment in accordance with...

If members wish to propose resolutions for consideration at the AGM, then members should ensure that any resolutions and any statements are proposed in compliance with the Corporations Act and the Constitution . While members will need to satisfy themselves with respect to the requirements (includi...

How many life members are there? Wouldn't it be easier to simply get rid of this membership class. There's no way that's defamatory; as it's simply the abolition of a class of membership and affects many people, not just one ... with no grandfathering (maybe give them all FCPA status if they don't a...

Peter Wilson now wants to bring in policies to silence the voice of members who disagree. What will happen at the AGM? Will the AGM be controlled to a point that you can only ask one question, about issues specifically prepared by the board and management team on a list given to members before hand...

And like another narcissist (but a very successful one), Malley labels the media coverage that led to his ouster as "fake news". Yawn. Referring to Sam Dastyari's dual sackings, Malley told Smith two Fridays back that he "haven't [sic] had one sacking. I got a payout, for the record." Say what? Her...

. How charming. Now we know why a couple of directors decided to stay on until NY eve before they resigned. This is what the email we received on 28.9.17 said: "To assist with business continuity, current directors Jim Dickson and Sharon Portelli will stay on the refreshed board with the nine new d...

. agree with all of the above We played a great game, but we've been snookered. The war was lost because, firstly, many members still aren't aware of what's happened or are simply apathetic (I've tracked down five CPAs in this building, and none of them could give a rats) and, secondly, none of us ...

. As an accounting journal for its members (who are accountants), it has gone backwards. Compare the current content to what was in the monthly journal back in the 80s and 90s, when I actually read the thing from cover to cover. It now has nothing to do with accounting. It's all leadership (whateve...

.
yea, looks like absolutely nothing has changed.

They continue to piss money down a drain:
presentation on "Personal Branding and Networking with Impact" ... not to mention the cocktail party for 60 people in HK.

I'll read the entire thing closer another day, but just skimming through it it's a huge disappointment: [ 1 ] no recommendation that members should been electing the board, and not the Representative Council. [ 2 ] Divisional Councils and Representative Councils still confuses me; there's no recomme...

. Looks like the exodus is continuing. The board should be proud of this stunning achievement; they ought'a be congratulated. CPAs flee over expiring limited liability coverage Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand has reported high numbers of enquiries and applications from CPA members, ...

She'd say she was not required by law to do or say anything.

yea, from the Dickson Playbook, as recited last week at the Senate Committee hearing:

We complied with all the [minimum] legal requirements.

. I watched the whole thing again last night. I lost track of the number of times Dickson and Wade were unable to answer questions, and had to take them on notice. The reasons they stated for not calling an EGM and not handing out email addresses was pathetic obfuscation. Furthermore, Dickson was u...

Here's a summary of the committee hearing:

CPA board grilled in heated Senate hearing:

.
At the Senate hearing this arvo Wade kept a straight face and said it wasn''t a waste of money. It was expected,. It was a long term project which would suffer losses in its formative years. Xenophon asked them to forward a copy of their corporate plan (it's due Friday).

. fair dinkum, it's hard to believe they didn't see anything wrong with anything they did, expect with one or two items and then only with the benefit of hindsight. I didn't hear any mention of why the NBL couldn't find a corporate sponsor, and had to resort to fleecing us. The explanation of the c...

.    Deloitte have denied they made a mistake! CPAA can simply start as many subsidiaries as it likes and thus by-pass/ignore the limits on directors remuneration ... and what exactly do those dudes at ASIC do? The silence from ASIC is deafening. Deloitte denies wrongdoing in CPA Australia audits by...

I wonder if this announcement, a mere two days after the Senate committee stated they would call the remaining board members, merely coincidental.

Does this mean they don't have to comply with the request? I hope not. We need to hear them being questioned.
