Governance and finance report

Shoeb Kotwal, CPA 
Product Owner Finance Operations, CPA Australia

The Board of Directors is the overarching governing body for CPA Australia and is responsible for strategy development, independently and objectively assessing the organisation’s decisions and overseeing the performance and activities of management under the approved strategy.

The principal activities of the Group during the financial year remain unchanged and were as an association representing financial, accounting and business advisory professionals: providing high standards of professional entry and continuing education, stimulating informed debate on issues within the areas of professional competence, setting and maintaining the highest professional and technical standards and promoting the role of its members for the benefit of the community.

In 2023, CPA Australia continued to invest in key initiatives that support the organisational strategy. The organisation continued to invest in the MMF program, the progression policy, and investment in a new operating model that will set the organisation up for long term financial sustainability. In addition to this, we continued to support members with access to complimentary professional development, hardship membership discounts and continued opportunity to complete CPA Program exams online. CPA Australia also continued to enhance our thought leadership and advocacy for members and the public interest.
