Untangling the cords: Related Party Transactions, Conflicts of Interests and Conflicts of Duties

Related party transactions and conflicts of interest are an increasing area of focus for regulators, particularly the ACNC and ATO. However, it’s an area that has been described as having “palpable incoherence and uncertainty”.*

In this webinar, Elizabeth Shalders (Special Counsel in the NFPs, Human Rights & Social Impact team at Mills Oakley) and Jeff Tulk (Audit Partner at Saward Dawson Accountants) will discuss the key issues that practitioners need to be aware of when they are advising clients in this field.

*Rosemary Langford, “Conflicts and Coherence in the Charities Sphere: Would a Conflict by any Other Name Proscribe the Same?”, Melbourne Legal Studies Research Paper Series No. 899, Melbourne Law School.
