I would like to thank the staff for all of their support and commitment during these unique times. As a remote team, we have banded together and worked excellently given the circumstances, which has allowed the AUASB to continue its work uninterrupted. I would also like to sincerely thank my respective former Chair at the AASB, Kris Peach, who has left a legacy with her commitment to driving change to the financial reporting landscape, and I look forward to a close collaborative and co-operative relationship with the current chair, Dr Keith Kendall.

Sincerely,

Prof Roger Simnett AO
