SPAA appointments add to technical capability
The Self-Managed Super Fund Professionals’ Association of Australia (SPAA) has strengthened its technical capability with the appointment of David Shirlow as director to the board.
Shirlow is currently head of the technical services team MAStech at Macquarie Adviser Services and is widely regarded as one of Australia’s top technical experts within the SMSF profession.
Commenting on the appointment, SPAA chief executive Andrea Slattery said Shirlow “has been a driving force in advocacy for superannuation law improvements over the years”.
“His appointment adds to our current board of leading specialist who play a critical role in driving industry reform and advancing best practice professional standards,” Slattery added.
SPAA has also announced that the current part-time technical director, Peter Burgess, will assume a full time position from 1 July. He will also step down from his position on the board, which he has held since 2007.
Burgess has over 20 years experience in the superannuation industry and is an accredited SMSF Specialist Advisor. He was previously general manager for superannuation services with financial planning group Kingston Capital.
