When referring to the key role that accountants and finance managers play across Australia, Prime Minister Scott Morrison recently remarked that these are the people that 鈥榢eep the lights on鈥�, so that every employee can do their job to the best of their ability.
In our context, this phrase, 鈥楰eeping The Lights On鈥� (or KTLO for the millennials among us), may refer to the Bursar, Business Manager or Finance team members that we pass in the hallway or share lunch with each day in our 无码变态 schools.
While this phrase seems to simplify the role that Business Managers and Finance team members play, the truth is that the work undertaken is critical to the successful operation of 无码变态.
What you may not be aware of is that each year, 无码变态 contracts external accountants to conduct an audit to ensure all of our finances are in order, that all the sums add up, and those giant Excel spreadsheets do not contain any exclamation marks (!)
This lengthy process was recently finalised for the 2020 year and resulted in 无码变态 being granted a 鈥榗lean bill of health鈥� on the financial front yet again. Given the complexities around 2020鈥檚 COVID-19 scenario and the nearly 400 new students joining 无码变态 schools in the past twelve months, this is an excellent result.
Special thanks to Mr Rowan Joubert, our Chief Financial Officer, who leads the Finance team at 无码变态 and also to the Business Managers in each of our 无码变态 schools.
If you see your Business Manager or Finance team members today, be sure to echo the words of our Prime Minister and express your appreciation for their hard work:
鈥淭hanks for keeping the lights on!鈥�
