The Professional Conduct Tribunal found a case established that Mr Broadbent was liable to disciplinary action in accordance with:

    1. By-law 40(a), in that as the accountant for a partnership he failed to: 
    • complete financial statements for the period 1 July 2004 to 20 September 2004; 
    • promptly remit to the Australian Taxation Office moneys paid him to meet the client’s GST liability resulting in interest and other penalties being incurred; 
    • respond to requests from the partners, their solicitors and the accountant for one of the partners concerning the financial affairs of the partnership. 
    2. By-law 40(g), in that he failed to reply to letters from the Investigations Officer dated 18 April 2005, 5 May 2005 and 23 May 2005 or to facsimile transmissions dated 25 May 2005, 7 June 2005 and 16 June 2005 concerning a complaint by the solicitors for the partnership. 
     
    3. By-law 40(j), in that he failed to comply with an undertaking given to the Institute’s Regional General Manager that all records would be delivered to the solicitors for the partnership by 7 November 2006.
The decision of the Tribunal was that Mr Broadbent’s membership of the Institute be cancelled for a period of twelve months and that he be required to pay $600 plus GST towards the costs of the disciplinary action.
