In a world where nothing stays the same for long we have come to accept that change is inevitable and our industry is no different. So, what happens when a regulator needs regulating and change becomes critical for ensuring the continued opportunity for innovation and development? We look at an emerging story and how the industry association (SPASA) is working to help create and implement necessary change.
We also take a few minutes to review the new rules around working with engineered stone and the impacts.

With stagnating or arguably contracting economic conditions continuing for the foreseeable future, is it really worth investing in advertising, branding and consumer engagement? We unpack this question with a zoom in on the recent Perth Pool & Spa Consumer Expo in WA where the January 2024 local state figures show that, unemployment rose, retail prices contracted and overall spending was down. Surely spending a chunk of marketing budget in that economic environment on trying to engage a consumer is foolish and wasteful. Let's find out.
We also cover some other ind ..read more

'Time Sensitive Tax Planning' are probably 4 words that have not considered compelling or sexy. Today with the help of Ben from Inspire Accountants we tell you why this topic is a compelling one.
