More than, 3,000 members took part in a survey, along with the Chartered Accountants ANZ Board, Council, Regional Councils and Overseas Councils, Segment Advisory Committees and member committees. We held over 38 workshops and 80 forward-looking thought leadership papers and resources were reviewed from around the world to identify global business developments and emerging trends. The process recognised macro trends such as:
In line with our vision, purpose, Charter and values, we have developed a strategy that will deliver for members the education, resources, advocacy, personal and professional support they need to make a difference.
It sets out ambitious, but carefully considered, aspirations for the profession and its professional body over the next four years.
Through our refreshed strategy we seek to be digitally led, with a focus on delivering personalised, relevant and timely services, as we continue to create a respected, world class organisation which provides the support and services our members want and require. This is being undertaken through five pillars.
Understanding our members’ needs, providing relevant learning and supported by intuitive and engaging connections.

From the start of the refresh process there was heightened awareness of the global context and the changing environments in which our members work.
Through workshops and a member survey, our members highlighted the need to continue to adapt and acquire new skills. Members told us that our communications are too generic; that we need to offer support that is more specific to their needs. Members also recognise they will need to continue to adapt and acquire new skills, and they expect their member organisation’s support.
These insights helped shape our strategic priorities and initiatives to improve our ability to understand, communicate and deliver future-focused services to our members.
For this reporting period the strategy refresh was articulated and communicated, and we set in train the organisational frameworks and processes needed to drive success. We continued to deliver on existing strategic priorities for our members, including the reimagined CA Program, CA Catalyst and CA Capability+ and we have continued to build on successful programs and services such as My CA.
FY22 will mainly focus on building the foundations required to provide world class services and deliver the digital experience demanded in today’s world. In FY23 and FY24 our members will experience the results of this work through services, support and engagement which helps put them ahead of the game.
Many of these initiatives focus on relevant and highly personalised member support.
