Moore Australia said Mr Calford would sit on its national tax committee, which collaborates on tax issues, provides advice, evaluates legislation and supports the network.
Mr Calford said he was excited to be joining a firm with a strong national and global presence.

Mr Tang joined the Moore Australia Victorian office from Adidas, where he was the head of internal audit and based out of Hong Kong.

The CEO of Moore Australia’s Victorian firm, Steve Sakkas, said the firm was glad to bring someone of Mr Tang’s experience into the team.

With an extensive understanding of leading audits along with risk and assurance services, Mr Tang brought experience working with several ASX top 100 clients along with federal and state government agencies.
“The core values of Moore — passion, access, community and care — closely align with my personal values,” said Mr Tang.
“I wanted to join a value-driven network which keeps the delivery of the highest possible service at the heart of the business.”
