Memorandum of Understanding

We’ve signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the recognised professional associations listed in the table below. The MOU provides a framework for both organisations to mutually engage and proactively share information on matters of mutual interest (that can be legally shared). This may include matters relating to:

• compliance with the Tax Agent Services Act 2009, including the Code of Professional Conduct

• continuing professional education/development opportunities

• intelligence, operational matters and de-identified data trends.
