The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) Consultation and Standards Forum (CSF) is a newly created forum, which replaces our 2 previous formal consultation mechanisms:

• Tax Practitioner Governance and Standards Forum
• Consultative Forum. 

The CSF is the primary stewardship group operated by the TPB and co-chaired by a representative from a professional association and facilitates strong engagement and collaboration between the TPB and key stakeholders, including partner government agencies, professional associations, educators and community representatives.

The CSF is intended to foster collaborative discussion to identify strategic opportunities and risks, which will inform each respective organisation’s strategic planning, prioritisation of key areas of focus and coordination of treatment strategies. The CSF also serves as a central forum to discuss legislative reform and operational matters that will improve the administration and operation of the regulatory framework impacting on the tax profession.
