How we delivered in 2008

1970s: A national approach to regulation

The Commonwealth passes payroll tax to the states. The Rae Committee recommends a national approach to legislation and regulation of companies. The first Australian Accounting Standard is published. Hot on the heels of the standard, the Asprey Report recommends a broad-based consumption tax. The National Companies and Securities Commission (NCSC) begins operating and Sydney hosts the International Congress of Accountants.

During the year we renewed efforts to embed our PRIDE values into our organisational DNA so we can continue to build strong leadership and ensure proactive, responsive and innovative behaviours among staff.

These values are at the heart of our internal communications and staff development programs and inform our recruitment processes, performance planning and reward and recognition structures.

Attracting, recruiting and retaining staff

During the year we successfully recruited additional key roles in our Standards and Public Affairs division including Head of Audit, Head of Reporting and Manager Chartered Accountants in Business, as well as a General Manager Membership Marketing to increase our focus on member value proposition and growth.

Our organisational PRIDE values:

  • We play it straight by taking responsibility for open, honest and direct two-way communication and operate with utmost integrity in interactions with members, fellow staff and other stakeholders
  • Respect builds success within the Institute as we engage and support each other and capitalise on our internal expertise and talents to provide the best service and information for members
  • We constantly strive to improve and innovate. To grow with our members and other stakeholders, we must anticipate and lead change and look for improvements across our business
  • We deliver to win together through developing and delivering the best quality tools and solutions to members that support both their personal and business success
  • We set our standards high and expect the best results across all operations. We strive to be the best in all markets we operate in and set ourselves ‘stretch goals’.
