CPA Members

Have attached the 2017 accounts for the Australian Human Resources Institute. Maybe the members of ARHI would want to take a closer look at the financial accounts. This entity was started in 2006. On 29 June 2009 it was granted income tax exempt status. Registered as a charity? Only about 15,000 mem...

Found this article below with regards to audits from the Intheblack online. What a sad response from CPA Australia, especially with regards to the issues now being raised about the function of audits, especially in the not for profit sector and also large listed organisations. The external auditors ...

Brett is right. It is best to speak up and encourage both the young eager members and the senior members that do want change, but are currently focused on their own jobs, business and family, to drive for change. Change will come. Brett has shown with one voice, that many have been awoken to take ac...

I think l heard the chairman Mr Peter Wilson, say that Caroline Spencer would no be paid any director fees and the fees would not be paid to the WA Auditor general office, and they were seeking legal advise with regards to the payments. Did any one else hear the same thing? Maybe others heard someth...

IFAC by term.pdf As already raised by Brett, it is interesting that Richard Petty is on the board of IFAC. https://www.ifac.org/about-ifac/structure-governance/board Interesting that Richard Petty was nominated by ICAA as board member and Alex Malley was his technical adviser and nominated by CPA. ...

Will the current board remove the life membership? The life membership of Alex Malley, Graeme Wade etc should be removed. They got very well paid, and should therefore pay to be a member, if they still wish to be a member.

Did any members see what the amount of FBT that was paid by CPA Australia in the financial report? Do not think it was disclosed, even though it was material.

The resolution to reduce the current boards remuneration, may have been defeated, but their is still the next AGM to get more members involved and act.

Thanks Stomper. CPA Australia board, don't want members to really have a look at CPA Australia Advise. They don't want to disclose the financial accounts to the membership.

CPA Australia Advice is problem that the current board, don't really want to deal with, or basically want to away.

Thanks Brett for your input and lets hope more members will get involved and push for change, improvements to corporate governance.

So CPA Australia, want to spent funds, and get PWC to provide a report, which will basically say that CPA Australia Advice, will not be able to succeed in the long term without continued membership funds from CPA Australia.

So now Caroline Spencer has taken up her appointment with the WA Auditor General Office, yet CPA is still trying to work out its legal position with regards to her director fees.

So what does Andrew Hunter the new CEO think of the CPA Program? He is an outsider looking in

Lets hope for more accountability of the CPA board

Hopefully more members will be at AGM next year and have their say.
