Conference 2020: Responding to COVID-19 – 

how might we #buildbackbetter?

The Charity Law Association of Australia and New Zealand (CLAANZ), in collaboration with Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CA ANZ) and with support from The Department of Internal Affairs - Charities Services Ngā Ratonga Kaupapa Atawhai. 

Welcome to the 2020 Charity Law, Accounting, and Regulation Conference, the third annual conference which brings together perspectives from professionals, charities, and government on key issues relating to the charities sector.
This online half day conference was developed in response to the global pandemic, to focus on issues relating to COVID-19 and its impact. Does the extraordinary set of circumstances presented by the recent events provide us with an opportunity to build back better? If so, how might we do that? The last few months have brought about an increased awareness of the importance and value of the charitable sector. In some respects, the pandemic has brought to the surface a lot of questions and issues that were already there. The 2020 Charity Law, Accounting, and Regulation Conference investigated these and other related issues, and provided an opportunity to hear differing perspectives from across different professions and disciplines. He waka eke noa: we’re all in this together.
