Performance Measurement: Directors and Accountants
'Independent research commissioned by CPA Australia indicates that two-thirds of
public investors want at least one professional accountant – such as a CPA – on
the board.' From the CPA Australia website

The employment process needs to consider many issues, but practical experience
and continuous professional development is a pre-requisite. Membership of a
professional association ensures adherence to a code of conduct, minimum skill
levels and up-to-date practices and knowledge.
