Australia’s accounting talent pool is facing a fierce battle. As demand skyrockets, businesses across the nation are struggling to attract and retain top-tier accountants. From mid-sized firms to large enterprises, the competition is heating up, and the impact is being felt across every industry. This talent shortage is more than just a hiring challenge—it’s affecting the very foundation of business growth and financial stability. Companies are facing longer recruitment times, increasing salaries, and even looking offshore to find skilled professionals. What’s driving this surge? Beyond the obvious economic growth, factors like the rise of tech-driven financial services, compliance needs, and the appeal of remote work flexibility are pushing the demand to new heights. But are businesses adapting fast enough to win this talent war? The solution lies in thinking global. While traditional hiring practices are being exhausted, many businesses are now tapping into the global talent pool—especially in markets like Indonesia, where skilled accountants are available, agile, and ready to deliver results. As the war on accounting talent intensifies, the companies that rethink their approach and embrace global teams will come out on top.

Why I Chose These Three Areas of Accounting In my year-plus journey at UPN Veteran Jakarta, I've come to realize the importance of building a robust and diverse expertise in the field of accounting. From the beginning of my academic journey, Financial Accounting has been my foundation. This choice wasn’t without reason; my background in science during high school led me toward meticulous analysis, while my early responsibilities in financial restructuring of state-owned enterprises (BUMN) provided direct experience in strategic financial accounting practices. This experience not only strengthened my interest but also gave me an in-depth understanding of the complexities and significant role financial accounting plays in the business world. Next, I had the opportunity to delve into Public Sector Accounting. Working in managing state and regional finances and contributing to regulatory drafting in this field opened a new perspective for me. I learned to view accounting not only from a business perspective but also through the lens of government, understanding how financial policies are crafted to manage public funds effectively and accountably. This experience enriched my comprehension of the role of accounting in supporting good governance, especially in central and regional fiscal relations. As an academic, I became increasingly interested in Sustainability Accounting, a field that is now becoming a core focus in the global accounting profession. I believe that in the future, sustainability accounting will not only be essential for corporations but also for government organizations aiming to ensure their activities have a positive impact on the environment and society, in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sustainability accounting offers a more holistic approach, integrating economic, social, and environmental aspects. This creates a significant opportunity for accountants to contribute to broader, more meaningful issues. By combining expertise in Financial Accounting, Public Sector Accounting, and Sustainability Accounting, I believe I can make a lasting impact in academia and create positive outcomes for society. These three areas enable me to tackle a wide range of issues in research and teaching, preparing students to face the increasingly complex challenges of the future. Through this integration, I hope to inspire the next generation to think more broadly, act more strategically, and always prioritize sustainability in their every endeavor.

[MYSKILL X SWISS GERMAN UNIVERSITY: Short Class Finance and Accounting "Financial Report Analysis and Audit"] Financial reports and audits are two things that play a very important role in determining policies for a company. Each section contained in the financial report is the core of the running of a company and provides a general overview of the details for several parties, both internal and external. Meanwhile, an audit can be said to be a stamp on a financial report, where each party can feel confident that the company has not committed fraud or manipulation that could undermine the expectations of several parties. That's why it seems necessary to understand more about these two things. Therefore, on 10th July 2024 MySkill collaborated with the Swiss German University to hold a Short Class Finance and Auditing: "Financial Report Analysis and Audit". This class discusses a general overview of financial reports as well as certain problems and sections that need to be paid further attention to the audience based on the experience gained by professional practitioners. In this case, the material was delivered by Mr. Indra Pratama who is a General Manager Finance from PT. Trakindo Utama Jakarta. The audience is invited to discuss the important points of a financial report, so that the audience gains a new understanding and based on what is happening in the field. Apart from that, in this class, audits in general were also presented, starting from introductory audits to the steps that an auditor can take in carrying out their duties. The audience is invited to find out what the real circumstances are in carrying out an audit and interesting experiences when auditing a company. At the end of the class, MySkill also gave a short assignment for the audience to review the material that had been presented previously so that the audience really understood and paid attention to the material. #LearnatMySkill #RintisKarirImpian

An interesting read from The Business Times. Requirements for the Singapore Chartered Account Qualification have been relaxed, allowing more polytechnic graduates to become professional accountants. Personally, I do not see an issue with this - it has been known for a long time that the accounting industry in Singapore needs to evolve in order to attract the next generation of accountants. Opening up the entry requirements to those who hold degrees from polytechnic universities opens up the talent pool massively - it's not a bad thing in my opinion. What are your thoughts on this? Let me know in the comments below.
