Session 2 | Succession Stories: Reaping what you sow | Stephanie Smith

This session dives into real-life outcomes of succession planning, highlighting key lessons and practical insights to help clients have more effective conversations. You’ll leave with practical tools and fresh perspectives to help clients make informed, future-focused succession decisions.

Session 3 | Financial Planning and Investment: Common questions and hot topics | John Ryan

While the foundation of a systematic financial plan and supporting investment framework don't really change, the questions clients ask do. John will provide commentary on questions he is seeing, as well as investment insights, that will assist your conversations with clients as their trusted adviser.

Session 4 | Can Division 7A apply to partnerships with companies? | Daniel Taborsky

I am often asked the question: Can Division 7A apply to partnerships involving companies and, if so, how can the Division 7A risks be reduced? This session will explore this issue by revisiting the ATO’s now-withdrawn Division 7A FAQs and examining recent private rulings that suggest the ATO’s position may have changed.
