APESB achieves gender balance


The Accounting and Professional and Ethical Standards Board (APESB) has declared it now has equal representation of men and women on its board following the appointment last week of Sydney-based financial adviser, Claire Mackay.
It said that Mackay was the second new appointment to the board this year and would take up her seat from 1 July.
The APESB announcement said that not only did the board now have an equal balance of men and women but also boasted of directors from five states.
Mackay would replace Stuart Black who will retire from the board at the end of June.
