2003 NSW ANNUAL STATE CONVENTION - BUILDING & RENOVATING YOUR CLIENTS' BUSINESS STRUCTURES
Published on 08 May 2003 | Took place at Fairmont Resort, Leura, NSW
In an environment where professional indemnity insurance is becoming increasingly unaffordable and clients less understanding, it is even more important not to make mistakes. Hence, is it critical to fully understand the structural implications and outcomes of the choices available and understand to what extent they are accepted by the ATO.
The first day focussed on the different structures and provided a head to head comparison to highlight significant difference, strengths and weaknesses.
The second day focussed on the implications arising from the change of owners and from the change of structure, ie. shifting a business or assets from one structure to another.

Financial Services Reform - How Far Can You Go?
Author(s):
Michael PAYNE-MULCAHY
FSR has crept up unawares on accountants and lawyers. It imposes a blanket prohibition on giving financial

advice. It has cast doubt on whether many accountants and lawyers can continue to provide some of their current advisory services without now being licensed.
This seminar paper highlights major issues to be aware of and indicates the steps the Taxation Institute is taking on
behalf of its members.
