On 26 September 2011, the Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia, in partnership with CPA Australia and the Business/Higher Education Roundtable (B-HERT) launched the Accountancy Roundtable series in Melbourne. This inaugural Accountancy Roundtable featured the Institute's Lee White, Executive General Manager–Members, who spoke on The Future of Auditing.
More than 20 academics, accounting firm directors and partners, and representatives from the Institute participated in some robust discussion on key issues facing the auditing profession.
The topic, The Future of Auditing, was selected because of the increased responsibilities required of the auditing profession in the rapidly changing global economy. While change is occurring everywhere, the pace of acceleration is being felt unevenly on an international basis with variable government support. This means the audit role becomes even more challenging for those who establish standards and for those who oversee the profession and monitor Auditors' performance.
