University Sprint Event on Financial Reporting Regulation

From 5:30pm until 7:30pm

At Curtin University

139 St Georges Terrace (Old Perth Boys’ School), Perth

We are excited to invite you to participate in the upcoming University Sprint events, taking place across New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, starting in Perth on Tuesday, 18 November.

The event will be hosted at Curtin University, with the aim of fostering a dynamic and collaborative environment.

These sprints will bring together a select group of CFOs (or their first reports), alongside leading researchers, lecturers, and heads of department from participating universities. The sessions are designed to encourage meaningful exchange; challenge established thinking and stretch the discourse on key issues in financial reporting regulation.

Event Focus:

Our first sprint will address the pressing topic of regulation in the finance sector, specifically the challenges surrounding financial reporting. With over 90 different corporate and financial reports required each year—many of which are duplicative or outdated—this is an important opportunity to discuss how we can reduce red tape, streamline reporting, and make data collection both more efficient and more effective.

Why Attend?

• Engage directly with fellow CFOs, academics, and policy influencers.
• Contribute to shaping recommendations for regulatory improvement, with insights potentially shared with the Productivity Commission, the Assistant Treasurer, the Minister for Competition, and the Shadow Minister for Deregulation.
• Be part of a confidential, collaborative forum under The Chatham House Rule, ensuring open and honest discussion without attribution.
• Benefit from cross-state collaboration by comparing notes and sharing key findings with wider university and industry groups.

The venue is located between William Street and Mill Street on St Georges Terrace. Access is via the Brookfield Place Precinct. This entrance is wheelchair accessible.

If you are a CFO, a direct report, or an academic leader interested in attending, please reply to this email to secure your place. Numbers are strictly limited to ensure all voices are heard.

Let’s work together to tackle the complexity of financial reporting and drive meaningful change. We look forward to your participation in this important initiative.
