Background
The increasing demands of compliance and the increasing responsibilities, some criminal, placed on management below director level, mean that accountants within an office, need to maintain a level of continuing professional education in order to keep pace and protect the business from the many liabilities that may confront it. Indeed bookkeepers have now been bought under the Tax agent lodgement system in order to lodge BAS independently, with all its requirements. Many businesses are relying on unqualified persons in their roles, with bookkeepers acting as accountants and at times as their Financial Controller.
To achieve this increased professional requirement necessitates the sharing of experiences amongst peers, and the maintenance of some independence, in order to advise the business, unfettered by the internal influences that can beset an employee. In turn this has made such a role, an attractive proposition to the professional to expand their reach and make use of the knowledge they have accumulated in a cost effective way to the business.
It is a trend that will only increase over time as both the executive and the client business want it and government is requiring it.
Most companies would like to hire an experienced accountant as their bookkeeper to guide them, but employment responsibilities & lack of
independence have been an impediment. As a consequence, businesses have suffered from a lack of timely financial information and good advice.
