Financial abuse is becoming an increasingly visible issue for accountants. With access to detailed financial information and often longstanding client relationships, practitioners may be among the first professionals to notice when something has changed.

In this episode of Small Firm, Big Impact Express, Hayley Angell, Senior Manager, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at CA ANZ, explores what financial abuse can mean in an accounting context and why it deserves the attention of smaller practices.

Hayley discusses what accountants should be alert to when working with clients, why a clear process matters when concerns arise, and how the CA ANZ Financial Abuse Playbook can help firms review their approach.

Listen to learn more about the role accountants can play and what your practice should consider if something doesn’t seem right.

“You don’t need to have all the answers. But you do need to know what to look for, what your professional responsibilities are and what process to follow if you have concerns.”
