Ignition’s Top 50 Women in Accounting Awards has gone from strength to strength and now has global recognition, says its originator Guy Pearson, the CEO and co-founder of the company. He established the awards six years ago to acknowledge the many women who had been instrumental in his early career but who “undersold themselves”. “We can move the needle in terms of helping women put their hand up, be recognised and realise they can achieve perhaps more than they set out to,” said Mr Pearson on

2023/05/05

Too many practices are “suffocating in their own workflow”, says the head of accounting at Intuit QuickBooks, Shaye Thyer, but too many keep doing things the hard way. Speaking on the latest Accountants Daily podcast, Ms Thyer said a recent Intuit QuickBooks roadshow had revealed the surprising extent to which practices tolerated unnecessary burdens, such as re-keying data, simply from inertia. “I still wonder what’s in the way because I know that’s not just reserved to our customers that we work

Accountants can learn a lot from other industries, says Rob Pillans, founder and principal consultant at Planet Consulting, and some of the examples are surprising. Speaking on the latest Accountants Daily podcast he said Appliances Online, for instance, had identified two pain points when it comes to buying whitegoods. “Firstly, how long is it going to take to get here? When your fridge breaks down … you don’t have a long time before everything goes off. “And secondly, what do you do with the

Interest rates will remain at today’s “elevated” levels and the only way from here is up, says the senior manager of business and investment at CPA Australia, Gavan Ord. Speaking on the latest Accountants Daily podcast, he said the low rate levels of a year ago, before the run of RBA rises, were unlikely to return. “We will have elevated interest rates for quite some time — above the average of the last 10 years but more consistent with the average of the prior 10 years,” he said. “If you listen to

2023/03/24

The ATO believes small business is the big culprit when it comes to compliance with FBT and it’s on a mission to round up the missing millions, says specialist Paul Mather on the latest Accountants Daily podcast. Mr Mather, who is founder of FBT Salary Packaging Solutions, said the tax gap with FBT – the difference between what the ATO collected and what it believed it should be collecting – was 22 per cent, the largest for any tax. “We've got a $4 billion revenue take on average and there’s about a

About 50,000 business owners a year are simply handing back the keys and walking away, says the chief executive of insolvency body ARITA, due to a “dysfunctional” wind-up system. John Winter of the Australian Restructuring, Insolvency and Turnaround Association said the issue was starting to appear on government radar because the numbers involved were four to five times higher than formal insolvencies. “We think that there is a wholesale failure within the Australian insolvency regime,” Mr Winter

ATO points trust distribution weapons at wrong target

2023/02/17

The ATO is gunning for the wrong target in its s100A approach because the authors of the law never intended it to apply to families, says Tim Munro, CEO of Change Accountants and Change GPS. Mr Munro spent three weeks trawling through Hansard from 1978–79 to examine the origins of the trust distribution law. “I disagree with the approach the ATO have taken with the application of section 100A,” Mr Munro said on this week’s Accountants Daily podcast. “It was introduced to stop someone, say a

2022/11/25
