    This is a unique episode of the ICB News Channel which was recorded live during a recent Question and Answer session hosted online with Bookkeepers and BAS Agents from all around Australia. The purpose of the Q&A session was to tackle many aspects of the recent TASA Code determinations that are impacting on services provided by Financial Service Agents including BAS Agents. This includes a requirement for BAS Agents and those related to Bookkeeping to demonstrate their processes and approach to providing financial services via a Quality Management System in accordance with the Tax Agents Services Act of 2009 (TASA) and the Code of Conduct that surrounds providing these types of services. Questions that were raised and tackled by Podcast host Rob Marshall and ICB Executive Director Matthew Addison, include what authorities are needed for processes, data entry, payroll, super and lodgements that Bookkeepers and BAS Agents provide to Business owners and clients on a regular basis, proof of identity checks when dealing with business owners and clients, incapacity of a Bookkeeper or BAS Agent and how that impacts on business owners, engagement letters and the approach to storing client data and the use of external storage apps ... just to name a few. This is just a snapshot in this episode of the levels of professionalism Bookkeepers and BAS Agents work towards daily and demonstrates the incredible commitment Professional Bookkeepers have to ensuring they deliver on all the right approaches when dealing with the Business community and other communities in need here in Australia.

    The Federal Budget has just dropped for 2025 and in this episode of the ICB News Channel Podcast, Rob and Matthew discuss firstly, should Bookkeepers and Small Business Owners try and stay engaged with a Federal Budget each year and secondly, if the answer to that is yes, to what degree should you be engaged and what (if any) is in this years budget, that has major impacts on Bookkeepers and Small Businesses. Another side impact of this years Budget and a looming Federal election coming up in Australia, is the scenario of Pay Day Super. Could anything change if there is a new Government, what is the current update on how things are currently tracking with Pay Day Super, and finally if things do continue to keep tracking towards a 1 July 2026 commencement, are their any flaws that need sorting out and is it indeed possible for the new requirements to start happening from that date. Other current scenarios bubbling for Bookkeepers and Business owners that are discussed in this episode of the Podcast, include Quarterly to Monthly changes for GST reporting for some businesses here in Australia at the moment, whats happening for Members and at ICB for End of Financial Year this year, plus more ... makes this another must listen for this episode.
