Hi There

 

The election is over - we can all have a break from emails and sms messages from certain political parties*.

 

Did you know May is actually one of the longest work months of the year - 31 days in the month with no public holidays for us here in NSW. Which is quite a shock to the system after April!

 

Don't forget on Monday, 12 May we have our ASFA National Legislation Discussion Group webinar at 1-2pm with special guest speaker Silvana Wood, Partner at Gilbert + Tobin. Silvana will be discussing "APRA’s proposed changes to CPS 510 Governance” - hope you can join us - details below. 

 

Cheers

Sarah
