Local Committees (LCs) advise Chartered Accountants ANZ on particular needs, preferences and issues of members in their areas, particularly as these relate to different sectors, industries, and demographic requirements.

These groups form a key conduit between Chartered Accountants ANZ and members, ensuring timely and topical member input is provided. This in turn allows Chartered Accountants ANZ to improve member support by appropriately tailoring its services at a local level to meet member needs.

The functions of LCs are to:

• Provide input on local members segments, needs and preferences
• Identify local emerging issues
• Identify local emerging talent
• Facilitate access to local networks; and
• Carry out other such functions consistent with the NZICA Rules and the CA ANZ By-Laws as the Board and the LC may agree from time to time.

LCs comprise anywhere between five and ten members relative to membership numbers in the area, aiming for representation from a range of sectors, industries, career stages, designations, ages, genders, and ethnicities.

LC members are appointed by the New Zealand Council for terms of three years. Any New Zealand resident who is a full member is eligible to apply for membership of their LC.

To find out more or to get involved, reach out to the Regional Manager or LC in your area.
