Improve Your Fleet Knowledge! AFMA is delighted to be running another round of Professional Development Forums across Australia throughout February and March. These regular gatherings are a fantastic opportunity to improve your fleet knowledge as well as a chance to network with industry leaders and like-minded professionals. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect and collaborative – as an industry we are stronger together. NSW February 27 VIC March 1 Simon and the team at KPMG are ready to talk you through the changes to lease accounting standards and the potential impact on your business. They’ll discuss impacts on both lessor and lessees, the separation of lease/non- lease components, practical implications, financial, operation and business impacts, plus transition accounting and effective dates. The workplace extends far beyond the four walls of the office. The vehicles that make up an organisation’s fleet are often fraught with the most danger, with statistics showing that over two thirds of all workplace fatalities occur in or around a vehicle. How can businesses lower potential risk exposure for drivers, staff and executives? And how can new technologies be utilised to mitigate these dangers? Completing the fringe benefits tax is often complex and time consuming, but it’s a necessary task to ensure you comply with your obligations. As a fleet professional it is crucial to take steps to collate the required information/ documentation. The KPMG team will provide delegates with an update on legislative changes, tips and reminders, key areas of interest, technology and how it can simplify your FBT reporting. Plus, hear how the Life Without Barriers team were able to “fix their fleet” through the implementation of telematics and more efficient fleet strategies. With over 1100+ vehicles across 300 communities travelling 26 million kilometres per year the LWB were able to completely transform their strategy, vision and approach within 3 short years.
