in the corporate world

Overview

How an organisation makes its money has impacts on the three critical dimensions for sustainable development namely the economy, society and the environment.

 

In making its product or rendering its service there are outputs and impacts on these three critical dimensions for sustainable development with outcomes (impacts).

 

Simultaneously the three dimensions have an impact on the organisation itself impacting on its financial condition, its operating performance and its risk profile.

 

In reporting, in order to discharge the duty of accountability, the leaders of an organisation need to integrate the material financial and non-financial matters.

 

From this integration users can glean whether or not the board has, as a collective mind, adopted integrated thinking and the quality of the board and management can be assessed.

 

There are inputs into every organisation to enable it to make its product or render its service. There are impacts ‘inside-out’ and ‘outside-in’ and there should be an integrated report in clear concise and understandable language about the integration of the financial and so-called non-financial matters.

Michael has 40 years of experience in providing assurance and corporate reporting advisory services, including 27 years as an audit partner with KPMG. He works with clients and advises on their corporate reporting and reports, including integrated reports, financial reports, and regulatory reporting. Michael specialises in the corporate reporting change agenda and leading KPMG teams in working through that agenda with their clients.

 

 

He worked with a number of major Australian corporations in 2014 as they developed their response to the changed focus of ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations from ‘financial reporting’ to ‘corporate reporting’ more broadly and beyond this in reviewing their business reporting strategies and report portfolios. He is doing the same as organisations develop their response to the proposed new ASX Corporate Governance Recommendation 4.4 in 2018.

 

Michael led the global KPMG team which over 18 months developed the methodology and toolkit (referred to as Performance Insight) to assist clients with their reporting strategies and integrated reporting management systems. This methodology is the basis for the integrated reporting course being taught at undergraduate and postgraduate levels at Deakin University.

 

As a Director of the operating company of the International Integrated Reporting Council (IIRC), of which Deakin Chancellor, John Stanhope, is Vice-Chair, Michael makes a key contribution to the IIRC’s strategic agenda, including how widespread adoption of integrated reporting will be achieved in Australia.

 

He was an alternate to John Stanhope as the IIRC’s nominee on the 2015 Turkey B20 Infrastructure & Investment Taskforce, which recommended global and local action for widespread adoption of Integrated Reporting as a long-term investment enabler.

 

Michael was also Global Executive Partner for KPMG’s Energy & Natural Resources practice between 2001 and 2006, chairman of its Asia Pacific Energy & Natural Resources practice between 2008 and 2012, and of its Australian Energy & Natural Resources practice between 2012 and 2014.
