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.
“More than 2.5 million Australians will retire in the next
decade, and many will be shocked to discover there are fewer
than 15,300 professional financial advisers to assist them with
some of the biggest decisions of their lives. Expert financial
advice is needed now more than ever.”
RICHARD WEBB, SUPERANNUATION LEAD, CPA AUSTRALIA
MEDIA RELEASE
Retirement at risk
This media release from CPA Australia urges the Australian
Government to reduce the “mountain of red tape” that has
been contributing to a steep decline in financial adviser
numbers since 2019. CPA Australia requests that the
government finalise its review into the controversial
Compensation Scheme of Last Resort, clarify the new class
of adviser role and update adviser education standards.
