IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR CREDIT PROFESSIONALS

Government to lead by example on cashflow

Image

Federal Government has announced that it will pay within 30 days accounts of less then $1 million as a clear message to Australian business that maintaining cashflow is essential in these times of tightening credit. It is pleasing to note that the Federal Government will lead by example from 1 December.

As well the Prime Minister has encouraged small business to work with the ATO if they are experiencing difficulties in meeting obligations.;

For the details of the govt announcement please see http://www.pm.gov.au/media/Speech/2008/speech_0565.cfm

 

ACCC warns against changing payment periods

A further significant development in cashflow management was the statement by the ACCC Chairman Graeme Samuel cautioning big business on the implications of changing their payment period without warning.  The ACCC has placed businesses on notice that they will be monitoring the situation for possible test cases on the grounds of unconscionable conduct.
