Session Topic

What’s new with accounting, auditing, ethical standards and the regulators

Much has happened since our last GAAPinars in April-June. Time to find out what you have missed, confirm what you know, and importantly, what you need to do and when. Let the experts share their insights and outline how this series can help you.

This free session brings accountants and auditors up-to-speed with the latest significant developments in financial and sustainability reporting, auditing, and ethical standards. Business risks, corporate governance, and the regulatory activities of ASIC, APRA, ACNC and NZ FMA are also covered.

Other GAAPinars in this year’s spring series will detail key issues for 31 December reporters. But our recaps and revisions are vital for everyone in auditing and accounting.

Developments should find their way onto corporate risk registers, audit planning, and training programs.
