Australia has more than 600,000 not-for-profit entities, including 60,000 registered charities. For preparers and auditors, staying across the latest developments is critical to managing risk in a sector increasingly exposed to wage underpayments, fraud, and cyber threats.
The ACNC continues to shape best practice through its legislation, reports, and regulatory focus – with lessons that extend beyond registered charities to the wider NFP sector in Australia and New Zealand.
At the same time, the NDIS brings challenges that demand closer scrutiny.
This session will explore:
- Accounting hot spots – revenue, concessionary leases, and special purpose financial reporting
- Latest on the AASB’s 3rd tier reporting standard
- NFP financial management insights
- Compliance risks, wage underpayment to fraud
- Growing cyber threats and how they impact NFPs
- Key insights from recent ACNC activities – Australian Charities Report, compliance insights from the ACNC’s annual report
- ACNC’s 2025–26 regulatory priorities, and
- NDIS compliance risks and fraud.
