TAPS: The Accounting Podcast Series

Albie meets with Katlijn Haesebrouck from Maastricht University to discuss her career, which focuses on the human element within an organisation. Why do people choose to work where they do? What drives their decisions and actions on the job? Is it mostly money or are there also other factors at play?

Albie chats with Pat McLay, registered company auditor and member of both the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland as well as CAANZ. Currently, Pat is a partner at EY based in Melbourne. Pat has championed the UoM Honours Internship Program and is currently spending some time with us as part of the Executive-in-Residence Program. Albie and Pat discuss Pat's career, his advice for aspiring accountants, and how AI might affect the discipline.

Tom Ravlic is an investigative journalist, academic, and consultant. In this episode, Albie discusses Tom's books and their dives into the recent Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry, and the Royal Commission into the Casino Operator and Licence. Tom and Albie also delve into Tom's unique career, along with internal audit functions and how to deter fraud and corruption within organisations.

Stu Black, Melbourne Enterprise Professor, and Alon Ellis, senior partner at Deloitte, discuss with Albie their new book, co-authored by Professor Danny Sampson. The book, titled Business Model Transformation: the AI and Cloud Technology Revolution, distills the trending concepts of AI and cloud technology into practical actions for business. Reconstructing a business in an age where these capabilities exist is complex and requires significant planning, as well as a sound understanding of the new powers these technologies offer.

Albie chats with Nikole Gyles, Technical Director of the AASB, about her diverse career. Nikole wanted to be a phys ed teacher, but fell in love with accounting instead. All facets of the discipline fascinated her, and she is now a force in standard setting and policy development.
