We are committed to engaging with governments, regulators, peak bodies and standard setters to advocate for policies that stimulate sustainable economic growth and have positive business and public outcomes. We also undertake thought leadership activities to support policy makers in different jurisdictions formulate improved policies. Our current advocacy priorities are below.
Transforming business
2. Support a skills plan that targets, attracts, develops and retains accounting talent to ensure a sustainable future for the profession.
3. Encourage policies that invest in building small business capability, resilience and digital and cyber security capacity.
A prosperous economy
2. Provide greater access to affordable professional advice so people can make better decisions about their business, investments, savings and future.
3. Support policies that strengthen economies, build technological advantage, improve the efficiency of the tax and retirement savings system, and increase protection against global disruptions and climate change.
Shift to digital future
2. Increase investment in building the community’s digital capability, including greater incentives for less technologically capable businesses to invest in technology and cyber security, and upskilling/attracting a skilled workforce.
3. Encourage the development of better ecosystems for start-ups and innovative businesses to succeed.
Sustainability and society
2. Increase focus on sustainability reporting and assurance to improve stakeholder confidence in such disclosures.
3. Support the development and adaption of technology that reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
