Session Topic

The legalities of contemporary business risks affecting directors, accountants, and auditors,

It’s time to reflect on important changes delivered by our regulators, courts, and parliaments.  Many affect accountants, auditors, and their clients. Knowing about the changes helps us to understand better business and audit risks and what we need to do to address them.

Several of these developments will affect 30-June risks and reporting. The session looks at:

  • What the regulators (ASIC, ACCC, AUSTRAC, ACNC, APRA, FWO) are up to and their enforcement activities
  • Greenwashing, AFSLs non-compliance, and continuous-disclosure breaches
  • Using AI chatbots for client work – a business risk
  • Business-risks disclosures in the annual report – ASIC’s hot spot
  • Court action against directors and executives of the Star Entertainment Group
  • Former Leighton Holdings executives served with 1400 documents
  • Super executives charged with dishonesty offences, and
  • Privacy Legislation Amendment (Enforcement and Other Measures) Act 2022 – breach penalties they are big.
