On Monday we had our last ASFA National Legislation Discussion Group webinar for 2025 on the topic of FAR - beyond compliance. Our fantastic guest speakers Liana Brover and May Lee discussed the importance of not seeing FAR as a 'box ticking exercise'. Read a full write-up here and please do get in touch with Liana or May if you'd like to discuss this further.
And yesterday we had our CREW webinar on sustainability reporting with guest speakers Geri McMahon from Baringa, John Moutsopoulos and Zein El Hassan from Mills Oakley. Blog post from that coming soon.
