CPA Members

This is a joke. Didn't the past board act unethically? What about Alex Malley?? What do members think? https://www.cpaaustralia.com.au/about-us/our-organisation/whistleblowing?utm_source=exacttarget&utm_medium=email&utm_term=All%20Subscribers&utm_content=NEWS+%7c+ALL+%7c+Whistleblowing+policy&utm_ca...

CPA rebels crowdfund legal action against old board by Myriam Robin AFR 13 August 2018 When Alex Malley packed his bags at membership-based accounting industry body CPA Australia, his $4.9 million golden parachute included a termination payment equivalent to three times his annual salary. In October...

Have you read the strategy? What do you think?? CPA Australia Strategy 2018-2021 "CPA Australia is proud to release its strategy that will be the blueprint for our organisation over the next three years. The strategy is built on six months of member consultation and focuses on delivering increased v...

Maybe now both CPA Australia and ICANNZ will join forces with IPA as they should have done in the past, and kept fighting with government to reinstate the accountants exemption. Oh forgot, they do have a joint body of representatives from IPA, CPA Australia and ICANNZ, unfortunately they are more co...

The AASB wants to get rid of the Special Purpose Financial Report for small entities. We have seen how successful the reporting requirements under the General Purpose Financial Reports are, with the failings of the financial reports provided by CPA Australia. Now CPA Australia supports the IFRS and ...

This article from the AFR highlights the failing of both the ICAANZ and CPA Australia in terms of projects for small and medium size accounting practice members. Both organisations tired to offer its members, that operate in small to medium size practices tools or avenues to help with their business...

Found this in 2016-2017 annual report of Australian Government Financial Reporting Council with regards to the CPA Australia It is interesting that this type of information is provided to external parties, yet the membership of the professional associations are not informed, well not really. How muc...

It does appear that the board of CPA are not able to make a decision, by using their professional experience, or that of the so called well paid management team of CPA Australia. They seem to need to engage consultants like PWC for hundreds of thousands of dollars to make the decision for them, at j...

It may appear based upon the PWC report into CPA Australia Advice, that the board may well need to use external advisers to determine what to do next. Aren't the staff at CPA Australia qualified enough to make a decision?? This is where the membership funds are all going, straight to the external co...

The sheer, wasted folly of CPA's financial planning arm 23 July 2018 by Myriam Robin AFR A farce from start to finish. That's really all that needs to be said about the final, promised closure of CPA Advice, which has since mid-2015 been (rather unsuccessfully) licensing its own financial planners i...

The issues relating to the life membership was raised at the AGM, yet not response from the board of CPA Australia, as to whether this reward to the board members from the CPA Australia board will be done away with. This life membership program or gold card, reminds me of a similar program that Tony...

CPA Australia Board announces to close CPA Australia Advice. What a huge waste of membership funds. What a waste of director fees etc to those involved in CPA Australia Advice. Wonder how much PWC was paid? Will this cost be disclosed to the membership of CPA Australia or will be it just be hidden s...

Looks like the wheels are falling off CPA Australia Advice. The number of registered financial advisers under its licence, are continuing to decrease,not increase. The writing is clearly on the wall for this organisation. I wonder how many thousands of dollars it will cost the members to pay PWC to ...

The CPA Australia brand is basically about an education business. It is not really about anything else. What do others think? Who has received and read the CPA draft corporate strategy for 2018-2021? https://www.cpaaustralia.com.au/about-us/our-organisation/draft-corporate-strategy?utm_source=exactt...

This reminds me of the situation where the management talk about ethics, acting in the best interest, good governance and being transparent, but in reality they do the minimum. They tell the membership both junior and senior, the staff, the external parties, of the importance of acting ethically, et...

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.
