The Albanese government has appointed Michael Bray, Julie Williams and Matthew Green as part-time accounting members of the Companies Auditors Disciplinary Board (CADB) for three years.
According to the government, the three new members were appointed to support the effective regulation and guidance of key economic sectors.
The CADB is an independent disciplinary body established by part 11 of the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 (ASIC Act).
The government said under the Corporations Act 2001, the CADB received and reviewed applications made by ASIC and the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority regarding registered company auditors.
The government said that Bray specialised in financial statement audits in specialist industries with complex accounting and auditing issues.
“He has extensive experience in a number of current and previous roles including as a professor of practice at Deakin University, a director at the Australian Business Reporting Leaders Forum and a special adviser to the Chief Connectivity and Integrated Reporting Officer of the International Financial Reporting Standards Foundation.”

Green was appointed based on his experience in providing audit and assurance services specialising in corporate reporting, accounting and auditing requirements, corporate law and governance, risk assessment, as well as corporate transactions and valuations.
Green currently works as a registered company auditor and is a partner at Forvis Mazars.
The government said Williams had many years of experience as a registered liquidator and was “well-versed” in the financial regulatory framework, including the corporation’s legislation.
Williams served as president of the Institute of Public Accountants (IPA) between 2020 and 2023 and chaired the IPA’s disciplinary committee as part of her board membership.
In addition to this, the government also announced the reappointment of Adeline Hiew as a part-time business member as well as Tony Brian and Ann-Maree Robertson as part-time accounting members of the CADB.
“These appointments will continue to the level of skills and experience available to the CADB, to help ensure that the key sectors of our economy are effectively regulated,” the government said.
