The rationale for entering the Australian Home Improvement market remains compelling and attractive with substantial opportunity for growth. The market is a significant one with more than $42 billion in sales in FY12. While most similar international markets, including New Zealand, have at least two major players, the Australian market is fragmented and has had just one major chain with around 16% market share. Masters is bringing competition to this market for Australian consumers. As a greenfields business we eXpected many challenges and along with our joint venture partner Lowe's Companies, Inc. ;>ŽǁĞ͛ƐͿ, we have learnt a lot over the last two years. With Lowe's guidance and expertise, particularly with its recent entries into Canada and Mexico, Masters is designed to be more than a big boX hardware store and competes across many categories other than hardware. At the announcement of our Home Improvement strategy in 2010, we said it would take five years from the first store opening for the joint venture to become a profitable division in its own right. We are confident that our Home Improvement business remains on track to be a business that will be built in the first five years and deliver returns in the following years.

  • Foreign Investment in Australia and Recent Trade Union Responses
    FOREIGN INVESTMENT IN AUSTRALIA AND RECENT TRADE UNION RESPONSES Ashley Lavelle' There is considerable public concern about aspects of foreign investment in Australia 1. Part of this no doubt relates to the more general concern about the merger or acquisition of "Australian iconsll such as Ansett Airlines, Kraft Food, Amott's and, most recently BHP, by foreign companies. Similarly, the apparent success of Dick Smith's Australian­ owned food manufacturer, Dick Smith Foods (Light, 2000; Pritchard, 200 I: 23, 24), and the Howard Government's uncharacteristic rejection in April 200 I of Royal Dutch Shell's bid for takeover of the Australian­ owned Woodside Petroleum, reflect broader community sentiment in relation to foreign ownership. Australian trade unions have often been key contributors to debate on such issues. For example, the ACTU's response to the Multilateral Agreement on Investment (MAl), a wide-ranging treaty aimed ostensibly • An earlier draft of this paper was presented at the 2001 Austrnlasian Political Studies Association Conference in Brisbane.

  • Audit and Assurance Week 1 Lecture
    Audit and Assurance Week 1 Lecture Introduction to Audit and Assurance • Auditors commonly provide an audit report to the financial reports (prepared by client management). • Auditor should conduct a comprehensive financial reports audit to provide an audit report. Importance of Auditing • Integrity of financial reporting is crucial for a healthy functioning of a market economy • auditor’s play a key role in enhancing credibility of financial reports • major corporate collapses over that past decades gave important lessons in this regard, • Examples: ➢ Enron in the USA ➢ Lehman Brothers in the USA ➢ HIH in Australia (both were audited by Arthur Anderson) ➢ Dick Smith in Australia (2016) Example: Failure of Enron Corporation (2001-2) • Enron was a giant energy company • With steady growth, Enron became largest natural gas company in the US by the mid-1980s. • Kenneth Lay, Enron’s CEO, and his top subordinate, Jeffrey Skilling were behind Enron’s growth. • Created several special purpose entities (SPEs) to artificially increase reported profit using complex related party transactions. • Enron’s financial condition eventually deteriorated. • Enron filed for bankruptcy in December 2001. • Lay and Skilling and Enron’s CFO (Andy Fastow) went to jail. • Arthur Andersen was one of the Big 5 accounting firms and was Enron’s auditor • Andersen enjoyed a reputation for honesty and integrity as independent auditors • Andersen succeeded in generating $-billions of revenues from consulting and auditing services • Professional ethics – did Arthur Andersen do the right thing as auditors? • Arthur Andersen received its share of the criticism regarding the Enron collapse: ➢ Earned substantial consulting revenues from Enron ➢ Questionable role in relation to Enron’s SPE transactions, ➢ Obstructed justice by shredding audit documents for Enron.
