Accountants on the frontline: Overcoming COVID through the eyes of the IPA

Andrew and Phil are joined by the IPA’s general manager of technical policy Tony Greco, who has worked tirelessly to help accountants on the frontline service their SME clients by carefully wading through government legislation, piece by piece.

From comprehensive JobKeeper training to advocating government on crucial small business matters, in this episode of One Voice Andrew and Tony detail the IPA’s COVID journey to date.

They discuss the hardships encountered by business, the government’s response including schemes such as JobKeeper 2.0, the economic worry, the pressures on accountants, the importance of mental health and more.
