This is where our profession
makes a tangible difference
Welcome to the May 2026 issue of INTHEBLACK.
In a period of shifting global trade settings and ongoing economic
uncertainty, trusted professional advice matters more than ever.
Disruption brings real challenges for businesses of all sizes, but it
also creates opportunity for those ready to adapt, plan with intent
and act with confidence.
As accountants, our insights into performance, risk and strategy help
organisations navigate uncertainty, build resilience and unlock growth.
Many businesses are now rethinking how they operate, with a sharper
focus on diversification and efficiency. This is where our profession
makes a tangible difference. It is a moment for CPA members to step
forward and lead, supporting clients and organisations to move with
clarity towards stability and long-term success.
Integrity, trust and strong professional standards sit at the
very core of who we are and how we serve. Transparency and
accountability are essential to sustaining that trust. I encourage
you to read CPA Australia’s 2025 Integrated Report, which details
our financial results and performance, priorities and impact.
CPA Australia continues to engage constructively with government
and key stakeholders, including through our recent involvement
in the Australian Parliamentary Joint Committee inquiry on
Corporations and Financial Services. We remain fully committed
to supporting the inquiry and upholding the integrity, ethics
and trust that define our profession.
I also encourage you to take part in CPA Australia’s
Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 20 May 2026. The AGM
will be held as a hybrid meeting at our Melbourne office,
with options to attend in person or online, and to ask questions
via the webcast platform.
Together, through resilience, adaptability and professionalism,
we can help ensure that businesses and our profession are well
positioned for what lies ahead.
