CPA AUSTRALIA
Our dedication to transparency
and accountability remains steadfast
Welcome to the April 2025 issue of INTHEBLACK.
The accounting profession is undergoing significant transformation
as we navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by today’s
dynamic economy. Accountants serve as trusted advisers at the forefront
of change, guiding businesses with uncompromising integrity,
high professional standards, and ethical conduct.
For every accounting professional, adherence to ethical principles
is non-negotiable. At CPA Australia, we are committed to ensuring that
our members uphold the highest standards — a commitment visually
reinforced by the word “integrity” on our logo’s crest.
We must also recognise the new challenges and opportunities
confronting accountants in today’s economy, including sustainability
reporting, the impact of technology and how ethics interplays with these
evolving areas. As these issues emerge, our dedication to transparency
and accountability remains steadfast.
CPA Australia is actively engaging with government and key
stakeholders to develop reform proposals and industry standards that
reflect contemporary business realities. Our recent involvement in
the Australian Parliamentary Joint Committee inquiry into Corporations
and Financial Services exemplifies our proactive approach in crafting
regulatory frameworks that are both robust and proportionate.
To demonstrate our ongoing commitment to integrity, we are providing
more resources for members to help them to comply with applicable
regulations. CPA Australia members can access the latest professional
development and education resources to maintain their obligations
and comply with the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants.
At CPA Australia, we are dedicated to ensuring that our members —
as trusted advisers — uphold the highest standards of professional
conduct, characterised by transparency, accountability and inclusivity.
