The 2019 @Chartered_Accts Audit conference @pullmanhotels has been a huge success. Was delighted to present a session on auditing accounting and valuation estimates and then linking it to parts of the @FMAmedia report issued today on audit quality across NZ
Some further insights on a topic that many will be of interest to many ... and great to have worked once again with Kirsty Swadling and family law section of the @nzlawsociety on this update

Great to see the #nzgif gaining some real momentum in Auckland last night. @jamespeshaw set the scene for how investments in projects in NZ that reduce #GHG might pan out in the future. Along with many others @GrantThorntonNZ was pleased to be present at this launch!
There's a lot happening in this space right now and if you go to the @GrantThorntonNZ website you can can see a great synopsis of some key changes that came into effect from 1 October 2019. In light of the RWC let me just say this: the goal posts have moved!
Thanks to all that attended our forum about the Government’s new procurement rules last week. We are looking forward to seeing economic, cultural, environmental and social outcomes achieved through procurements across the country. #procurement#publicsector#broaderoutcomes
A different slant on the mid-market with some brand new data on NZ business included in this @GrantThorntonNZ report noted below. Definitely worth investing some time to go through it ...
NZ’s #midmarket is a powerhouse of employment growth and revenue, yet it’s too big to generate the kind of enthusiasm we often see for small and large businesses. Get insights about the power and potential of Kiwi MSBs here: https://t.co/aAtMEiSL0o #MSB#NZbusiness
Great to see so many people at @cpaaustralia last night where not-for-profit members were evaluating the effectiveness to today's Accounting Framework. Anthony Heffernan from XRB and Jamie Cattell from Charities Services @CharitiesDIA both provided lots of "food for thought"
@GrantThorntonNZ was delighted to host an innovation workshop arranged by @BusinessCircle_ . This well attended event was all part of the 13th Australia New Zealand Leadership Forum @The_ANZLF taking place in Auckland. @VicCrone led a thought provoking workshop today!
We had the pleasure of hosting the Project Quality Assurance Forum (PQAF) public session this morning where Carl Weller from Equinox IT shared his expertise on agile assurance. #QualityAssurance
@CraigHudsonNZ this evening commented on how the @xero Auckland office became - Te Ara Tūroa. The company's journey of growth and expansion to support SMEs and NFPs continues and @GrantThorntonNZ along with its clients are delighted to be a small part of that.
Fascinating facts and figures presented on the future of audit and accounting
were presented by Jane Diplock at 9th Asia Pacific Interdisciplinary Research in Accounting Conference (APIRA) conference being hosted by @AUTuni and @cpaaustralia today
Isle of Man ... here I come along with 500+ motorcyclists who have just boarded the fast ferry to Douglas. Really looking forward to this years TT racing @iom_tt and ticking off another bucket list event!👍
Many aspects to take into consideration when considering fairness and wellbeing as set out in Oksana's article below. I suppose if the solution was "easy" we would not be having the debates we are having right now!
Is fairness an appropriate way of thinking about how the #tax system should be designed? Can tax even be fair at all? Tax Partner, Oksana Simonoff offers some insights: https://t.co/nkzhqNbYdf #WellbeingBudget
Attended another great event hosted today by @cpaaustralia that featured Andy Bowie the country manager of @UberEats in NZ telling that organization's fascinating story of growth and innovation @Uber_NZ
