The Registered Organisations Commission hosted an officer financial training online question and answer panel on Wednesday 25th November. We were joined by representatives of unions, employer associations and training providers.
If you missed the live event or want to refresh yourself on the requirements, we have now published the audio recording below.
Presenters
- Catherine Bebbington – Principal Adviser, Education and Reporting, Registered Organisations Commission
- Joanne Fenwick – Financial Reporting Specialist, Registered Organisations Commission
- MaryAnne Guina – Principal Adviser, Compliance and Investigations, Registered Organisations Commission
- Kristina Menzies – Senior Adviser, Education and Reporting, Registered Organisations Commission
The new education tool contains a hypothetical scenario providing practical examples of when officers must undertake financial training or obtain an exemption.
Subject matter experts also responded to questions about:
- when officers with financial management responsibilities must complete approved training
- how to access financial training
- the ROC's observations about compliance during the financial training audit
- how the ROC assesses training exemption applications.

"I like the format you are using for the online events and I always find them helpful and reassuring. I also find the regularity of them good too."
