In March 2010 new laws came into effect regulating our industry. If you’re charging for your work (or intend to) and this involves setting up charts of accounts (eg in MYOB) or data entry of invoices/payments, you’re included in these new rules.
To put it simply; if you do not meet the registration requirements, you will not be able to charge for your work. Briefly; there are educational, experience, membership and insurance requirements. And yes, even if you do not do BAS work, or ‘the accountant’ does the BAS, you are still caught by these rules.
If you’d like to know more, and also have any questions you may have answered, Robert Comelli from the AAT will be visiting our campus on Thursday 7th April at 2pm for a presentation followed by a question/answer session. This will start at 2pm, in FG.33 (auditorium).
