On 15 April 2020, QUT is hosting a free webinar with our very own Paul Paxton-Hall and Prof Myles McGregor-Lowndes who will discuss the implications of the passing of the Associations Incorporation and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2019 recently passed by the Queensland Parliament.
The form will affect some 22,000 incorporated association as well as some 3,200 ACNC charities that are also registered under the Queensland Collections Act for fundraising purposes. It will finally relieve Queensland charities of duplicated annual financial reporting under the Associations Incorporation Act (AIA) and also the Collections Act. Plans are for the changes to be implemented before the reporting deadlines for of 2020-21 reporting period.
There are also a number of important reforms for incorporated associations including new governance standards and obligations for officeholders.
Register via QUT to take part in this engaging discussion.
