𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 - 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲

Mandatory climate reporting has landed in Australia. The compliance clock is already running — and for most finance teams, the numbers being asked for have never sat in the ledger.

𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 — 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗢𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.

Dr. Shalini Sharma unpacks what AASB S2 actually asks for, where the data usually isn't, how assurance changes the game, and what smaller entities will feel flowing down through the supply chain. Practical ground for anyone who has to report, or advise someone who does.

*The Power of Ownership, Resilience and Real Change*

*Luke Kennedy* went from violence, addiction and self-destruction to business owner, author, mentor and advocate.

No theory. No models. Plenty of humour. Just the honest question: what are you still blaming?

Resilience. Personal responsibility. Identity. Emotional regulation. Real human connection.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India

Four of the profession's most senior voices. One question: what comes next for accountants?

At the ICAI 1st Oceania International Conference, hosted by The Australian (Sydney) Chapter of ICAI, we're bringing together:

• CA Mangesh Kinare — Vice President, ICAI
• Dale Pinto — Global President & Chair, CPA Australia
• Taryn Rulton — Deputy President, IFAC
• Ainslie van Onselen — CEO, CA ANZ

Moderated by Tanuja Bissa, CFO, SDN Children's Services.

The numbers tell us what happened. The real question is what happens next. As technology, AI and uncertainty reshape organisations, finance professionals are being challenged to move beyond reporting and become voices in the decisions that shape the future.

This panel asks what the profession's institutions can do to back that shift — and what accountants should expect from them.
