Advocacy update
CPA Australia’s policy team advocates for the interests of the accounting profession,
members and the public. Here is some of their recent work.
“Businesses understand the need for well-designed regulatory
frameworks, but government instinct for red tape has swung
the balance so far that even the most creative and innovative
of businesses are struggling to prosper. We encourage the
next government to focus on fostering economic growth,
and not assume it can regulate the economy into prosperity.”
