New laws and regulations and enforcement activity by regulators is a constant feature of business life that accountants, auditors and directors need to keep up with. The pace of change, however, has picked up over the last few years and 2024 will be no different. Several of these developments affect 30-June reporting. With many businesses doing business overseas, particularly in Europe, international developments are important too.
In this session, Stephen will take us through the latest legislative changes, policy proposals and regulators’ activities since our 2023 November GAAPinars. Knowing about the changes helps us to understand better business and audit risks and what we need to do to address them. They need to find their way onto corporates’ risk registers or the audit plans.
The session looks at:
- What the regulators (ASIC, ACCC, AUSTRAC, ACNC, APRA, FWO) are up to and their enforcement activities
- AFSL enforcement
- New legislation and policy initiatives
- Financial reporting
- Employment law, and
- Relevant court cases.
