FinancialServices

Australia’s premier tax event for the financial services industry

This thought-provoking program explores all the key tax issues that have emerged over the last 12 months, along with a focus on regulatory compliance, technological disruption, economic headwinds, geopolitical changes and a range of ESG reporting obligations. These industry issues overlay a number of tax challenges for taxpayers which impact financial and business strategy, and compliance and reporting obligations.

Designed for all segments of the financial services industry, participants will hear from some of Australia’s leading experts and thought leaders over this two-day conference.

Returning to Crown Sydney in 2025, we will pick up where we left off in 2024, with two streams of technical content, high profile keynotes and exceptional networking opportunities.
