Incoming CEO's Report
Chris Freeland AM
CEO (effective 18 March 2024)
I’m very excited to be appointed as CEO of CPA Australia and I thank the Board for placing their trust in me. I take over from Andrew Hunter who has done an exceptional job since being appointed in April 2018. Andrew is leaving CPA Australia in a strong and healthy position, and he also leaves with the best wishes of employees and members alike.
It’s a privilege to lead such a highly respected organisation as CPA Australia with a history dating back nearly 140 years and a growing global presence of 173,431 members. There are a number of reasons why the position of CEO of CPA Australia was of great interest to me. First and foremost is the CPA designation which is recognised and respected around the world and brings together accounting professionals from across all sectors of the industry.
