I think it's still another case of 8 days a week. I am expecting Directors to perform, not to have better things to do.

Mmmm, and it's not exactly sailing at CPAA at the moment... the commitment required now is more than it ever was.

In any case this is starting to sound like another case of 8 days a week.

Indeed.

I appreciate that just because the law doesn't prohibit something, doesn't mean there is not an issue...

CPA Australia doesn't have a good track record in this regard...

Never mind the fact that Australia is awash with accountants with applicants outnumbering vacancies by a factor of 36.8 to 1 Got a source for that statistic? Not questioning it, just want to have a further look. https://docs.jobs.gov.au/system/files/doc/other/ausaccountants_1.pdf Since 2009, there ...

A CA ANZ spokesman would not comment, saying the cost was commercial in confidence, but said the "website investment is delivering significant returns in members' satisfaction and usage which has increased dramatically ... the volume of unique visitors to the site has increased by 25.8 per cent ". ...

What a nice photo on the cover.

What about this one? Delightful, isn't it?

These criminals are still life members...strip them of it. I will.nevet forgive jillian bowen emailing to staff i wad a lunatic when i raised my concerns on facebook...a staff member sent me this Infamous email Can you post a screenshot of the email (with personal information redacted if necessary)?

Lame. All they have done is formalise the assessment for stuff that was already available and free. And there's still much better webinars etc. being offered by for-profit companies for free. There also still doesn't seem to be much focus on accounting. Perhaps we should change the organisation name...

Sounds like he's overqualified.

Well, we're paying him a damn sight less than the previous CEO, who was underqualified, so what's the problem?

After the AGM I will discard the CPA mailing list.

Might be worth hanging onto a bit longer? ...as there's no guarantee that we'll be able to communicate more freely following the AGM.

I pity Adam Awty…..

I definitely don't pity him!!

No pity here, either. The sooner he's gone, the better... all of the 'old guard' need to exit.

As many members of this Forum are aware, CPA Australia kicked off their Member Forums in Melbourne last night. I attended and wanted to provide all of you some feedback. I have been a fairly inactive FCPA for the last 35 years until the "Financial Review" commenced its campaign last year thanks to ...

Just a small observation about governance of CPA and CPD hours: registration for the forthcoming "Member Consultation Forums" [sic] carries NIL hours for CPD.

The forums are free, aren't they? CPAA doesn't like giving away CPD hours for free, it hurts their business model.

So the membership figures are just as colourful , and as the Amercian President would say Fake News. ... So the membership figures are not really correct, but the auditor, still states that the accounts are true and correct. Really??? The information provided by CPA Australia is certainly colourful...

i posted my concerns on cpa facebook... i was blocked under instruction from a written email instruction from ms bowen... i quote... this unbalanced lunatic has to have his posts blocked... this email was sent to me by a cpa staff member...

Wow.

Just tell us how much the Independent Review cost, and international travel. Actually I reckon they could possibly work from the major expense categories in the Trial Balance and run with them rather than I'm sure their normal approach of trying to figure out how to group them together into almost ...

Gonna frame mine. I have two spare frames with CPA and FCPA toilet paper in them currently; something about “Integrity” written on them but I am not sure what that means anymore.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Firstly thank you Brett for speaking up and saying what we all have been thinking for a very long time. I too was at HQ about a month ago and was told that CPA had taken over the lease of the Coffee shop located in the foyer at Freshwater Place. Apparently staff get a 20% discount?? A competition w...

Is this because they could see grounds for legal action related to directors duties?

Absolutely.

Talk about self-interest.
