I am delighted to have this opportunity to serve our academic community. Stepping into that role I would also like to acknowledge all the great work that our Past Presidents did for AFAANZ over the years, including the most recent Past President (NZ) Nicola Beatson, whose great contributions to our Association I intend to continue and add to while in the President (NZ) role. I would also like to thank our sponsors Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand, CPA Australia and MYOB for their great and continuing support of AFAANZ and I am looking forward to working with them as the current President (NZ). Finally, my heartfelt thanks go to the current AFAANZ President (Australia) Marvin Wee and the AFAANZ Board members for their warm welcome and the support they are providing me with in my new role. </p></div></div></td></tr></table></td></tr></tbody></table></td></tr></tbody></table><table class="row row-4" align="center" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0"><tbody><tr><td><table class="row-content stack" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;background-color:#fff;border-radius:0;color:#000;width:660px;margin:0 auto" width="660"><tbody><tr><td class="column column-1" width="100%" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;font-weight:400;text-align:left;padding-bottom:5px;padding-top:5px;vertical-align:top;border-top:0;border-right:0;border-bottom:0;border-left:0"><table class="text_block block-1" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" role="presentation" style="mso-table-lspace:0;mso-table-rspace:0;word-break:break-word"><tr><td class="pad"><div style="font-family:sans-serif"><div class style="font-size:14px;font-family:Arial,Helvetica Neue,Helvetica,sans-serif;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px;color:#555;line-height:1.2"><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> At our most recent strategy oriented AFAANZ Board meeting the Board discussed our goals for the short to medium term. These incorporate initiatives around research, education, membership, engagement and financial viability. One of the goals and related initiatives that I am taking responsibility for is the engagement. This is the engagement by AFAANZ members with the accountancy and finance profession, regulators and standard setters as well as industry representatives in the wider sense. The Board’s vision is to open opportunities for our members’ increased engagement with the profession, regulators and standard setters. Within that vision my personal vision is to strengthen the relationships that our members have with the profession, regulators and standard setters and to encourage further pathways for future collaboration. To that end we are planning a number of initiatives and events this year and next year through the Insight Series that we already run, new Webinars and new Master Classes as well as to open the opportunities for our members, under the banner of AFAANZ, to make submissions to regulators and standard setters where of interest and appropriate. I envisage that the wealth of our research can support research-based decision making in the design and implementation of new regulation and standards, as well as that we can showcase our research and increase the impact of our research has in the business community. </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px">Following previous conversations by a number of Board members with regulators and standard setters as to how best to achieve this, I have more recently had several very engaging contacts with those stakeholders and we as the AFAANZ Board will be further communicating with you on specific initiatives.</p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> </p><p style="margin:0;mso-line-height-alt:16.8px"> In the meantime, if you have any comments or suggestions about the AFAANZ engagement, especially with our wider stakeholders, please do contact me directly on <a href="mailto:N.Redmayne@massey.ac.nz" style="text-decoration: underline;
