Last week the Minister responsible for the ACNC, the Assistant Minister to the Treasurer, the Hon Michael Sukkar, announced the appointment of Susan Alberti AC and Peter Hogan as general members of the ACNC Advisory Board for a period of three years.
In his statement, Minister Sukkar said that “these appointments continue to add to the high level of skills and experience available to advise the ACNC Commissioner, ensuring that the ACNC Advisory Board has appropriately qualified members to deal with the variety of issues raised in the charities and not-for-profit sectors”.
“We look forward to meeting with the new Advisory Board members,” he said.
The ACNC Advisory Board provides sector-specific advice in areas such as the not-for-profit sector, law, accounting and taxation to the ACNC Commissioner to assist in decision-making.
Alberti is founder of the Susan Alberti Medical Research Foundation and is recognised for her eminent service to the community through philanthropic and fundraising support for a range of medical research, education and sporting organisations, and as an advocate for improved health care services for the disadvantaged.
Hogan is a seasoned tax professional with close to 40 years of tax experience in both the public and private sectors. After retiring as a tax partner from PricewaterhouseCoopers in 2008, he has continued to be actively involved on boards of listed corporations and in roles with community focused outcomes.
“These appointments continue to add to the high level of skills and experience available to advise the ACNC Commissioner, ensuring that the ACNC Advisory Board has appropriately qualified members to deal with the variety of issues raised in the charities and not-for-profit sectors,” said the Minister.
The Board’s functions and powers are set out in the ACNC Act.
