À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
This is one of the hardest episodes we've recorded. Both David and Paul have such pride in achieving our CA designations, the quality of the CA program and the effort it took to complete the program.
We feel that the current CAANZ doesn't represent the needs, interests or wants of public practice members and the board asking for votes at the AGM for a 15.8% payrise has understandably upset members. Many members believe this is unwarranted and want to do something about it.
CAANZ Board Assessment Process
David and Paul have discussed their views on CAANZ's strategy and values with a public practice lens and we believe the pay rise isn't warranted.
To be fair to the board, our plucky hosts have reviewed CAANZ strategy and assessed each pillar based on their own opinions.

Why bother?
If all accountants do is complain amongst ourselves, and ignore opportunities for impact, we will eventually be pushed aside and taper off into further anger and frustration.
We encourage you to do the same prior to casting your vote. We are not campaigning a no vote, we are campaigning for you participate.
We encourage members in public practice to make their own decision, but if you have a view, don't leave it to other voices to drown you out, vote.
Next Steps
Members will have received an email entitled "Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand 2022 Annual General Meeting"
There is a link to register your proxy with a no vote and assign it to the president to table at the AGM. This email also contains your Unique Identification Number (UIN) that you'll need to register your vote.
While members who feel the organisation is being mismanaged can't do a lot to be heard, we CAN do this.
This isn't a call for resignations or mutiny, it's simply another attempt by members with real passion for the industry and pride in our designation to be heard.
