hi guys, another very informative F.P.today,the board should be ashamed at all their dodgy dealing, do we know if they are still a charity? cheers
...
With regard to the Registered Charity status of the Board we seem to remember Mr Bickers denying there being any Fringe Benefit tax issues. We read recently that the 2005 annual financial reports were delayed due to the Board getting charitable status which entitled the Board to a refund on GST paid on the “Fringe Benefit Tax”. The accounts show the Board received a Fringe Benefit Refund of $173,498 for the year ended 31 March 2005. Remember also the money now being spent on appealing the Charities Commission decision, tens of thousands of dollars (and this is only coming from one place – money YOU have paid. We noted also that in 2004, $122,686 was spent on “projects”, and the projects were for “registration, licensing, and the Board”. When the books were reviewed the reviewer was of the opinion the information provided was not sufficiently transparent to allow the reviewer to make a judgement on the nature of this “project” spending.

hi guys/Wal, yes why would the board tell us anything, cheers

Count me in....

One in house mate!  You are kidding, they already have about 5.  They must like to travel in gaggles and keep the numbers up.
They just keep on thinking of ways to increase their expenses and costs so that they can keep upping the levies and fees.
The sick part of the joke is that they outsource the actual disciplinary hearings.
