𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝘄𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁?

Stakeholders now expect accountants to speak to ethics, governance, sustainability and long term value, not just the numbers. The institutes that train, certify and represent them have a direct hand in whether they are ready. That is the subject of 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗼𝗱𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁'𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗲 at the ICAI 1st Oceania International Conference 2026.

Facilitating the discussion is CA Tanuja Bissa, CFO at SDN Children's Services. With over 20 years across corporate, not for profit and social impact sectors, a CPA, Chartered Accountant and UNSW AGSM MBA, she brings a values driven view of governance, ethics and lasting community impact to the conversation.

Join her and hear from the people setting the agenda:
- CA Mangesh Kinare, Vice President, ICAI
- John Curtin Distinguished Professor Dale Pinto FCPA , President and Chair ofteh Board, CPA Australia
- Taryn Rulton, Deputy President, IFAC
- Ainslie van Onselen, CEO, CA ANZ

What changes when technical excellence stops being the differentiator, how finance earns a say in strategy rather than a slot on the agenda, and how to manage risk without becoming the function that says no.

Facilitating the discussion is CA Mansi Tayal, CFO at Sigmanta. She has led finance teams in India, Nepal and Australia, and now works with growing and mid-market businesses to strengthen financial foundations, sharpen decision-making and manage risk, helping finance teams move beyond reporting into strategic partners who create lasting business value.

Join her and hear the journeys of
- CA Subbu Subramanian GAICD, CFO Oceania at Allianz Trade
- Ashwini Shankar CA, CFO at NAATI
- CA Mitesh Gor, CFO at Colliers

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗱𝘆 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱.

Every finance leader remembers the moment their job stopped being about the numbers and started being about the people producing them. That turn is the subject of 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘈𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 - 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱.

Bringing that story to the stage: 𝗖𝗔 Mitesh Gor, CFO of Colliers Australia and a member of its Australian Executive team.

Mitesh brings more than 20 years of finance leadership, a track record in financial strategy, business transformation and operational excellence and three qualifications across two countries: Chartered Accountant, Company Secretary (India) and CPA (Australia). What defines him, though, is what he chooses to focus on: collaborative leadership, innovation, and building teams that outperform.

Alongside Mitesh on the panel:
▪ Subbu Subramanian GAICD, CFO – Oceania, Allianz Trade
▪ Ashwini Shankar CA, CFO, NAATI
Moderated by 𝗖𝗔 Mansi Tayal, CFO, Sigmanta

You can read a hundred books on leadership and still not know what it costs. Sit across from someone who has paid that price, the restructure they got wrong, the team they nearly lost, the decision that kept them up at night and you learn in forty minutes what took them twenty years. Borrowed experience is the cheapest education you will ever get, and this panel is offering it freely.

𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝘁. 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗶𝘁.

Few careers cross private, public and not-for-profit finance and come out stronger on every side. Fewer still turn that range into a platform for lifting others. That is the story Ashwini Shankar CA brings to the Session — 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘈𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘐𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘪𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 — 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘦𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱.

Ashwini is Chief Financial Officer at NAATI and was named Financial Controller of the Year at the Australian CFO Awards 2022. Across more than 20 years of leadership she has built a reputation for strategic transformation and financial excellence — and as a Chartered Accountant and sought-after keynote speaker, she spends much of her time on stages like this one, giving the next generation of finance leaders a head start she never had to hand back.

Joining her on the panel:
▪ Subbu Subramanian GAICD, CFO – Oceania, Allianz Trade
▪ CA Mitesh Gor, CFO, Colliers Australia
Moderated by 𝗖𝗔 Mansi Tayal, CFO, Sigmanta

Here is the truth about leadership education: the theory is free and everywhere, and it changes almost nothing. What changes people is hearing a leader say “this is where I got it wrong, and this is what I did next.” One honest story from the front line is worth a shelf of textbooks — and this panel is three of them, side by side, in forty minutes.

If you are a CA, CPA, finance professional or simply someone who wants to lead better than you were led, this session is yours.

𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁. 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗱.

We are delighted to introduce one of our panelists, 𝗖𝗔 Subbu Subramanian GAICD, CFO at Allianz Trade.

Over 25 years across Allianz, AIG, Suncorp and IAG, Subbu has led through market cycles, transformations and the shift from technical expert to trusted leader. An FCPA and GAICD, a university guest lecturer, and a former Chairman of the ICAI Sydney Chapter — he has spent as much of his career building leaders as building results.

He'll be joined on the panel by:
▪ Ashwini Shankar CA, CFO, NAATI
▪ 𝗖𝗔 Mitesh Gor, CFO, Colliers
Moderated by 𝗖𝗔 Mansi Tayal , CFO, Sigmanta

Frameworks tell you what leadership should look like. Someone who has actually walked the road tells you what it 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘴 like — the wrong calls, the hard conversations, the moments that changed how they lead. That is the fastest, most honest education there is, and this panel delivers it in 40 minutes.

Whether you're a CA, CPA, finance professional or simply someone stepping into leadership — this conversation is for you.

𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 - 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲

Mandatory climate reporting has landed in Australia. The compliance clock is already running — and for most finance teams, the numbers being asked for have never sat in the ledger.

𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 — 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗢𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲.

Dr. Shalini Sharma unpacks what AASB S2 actually asks for, where the data usually isn't, how assurance changes the game, and what smaller entities will feel flowing down through the supply chain. Practical ground for anyone who has to report, or advise someone who does.
