New appointments include: Australian Prudential Regulation Authority executive group member John Trowbridge, Auditing and Assurance Standards Board chairperson Merran Kelsall, Australian Accounting Standards Board chairman David Boymal and Australian Shareholders Association chief executive Stuart Wilson.
The council's reappointments include: Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia member Jan West, Tasmanian Department of Treasury and Finance secretary Don Challen and New Zealand Accounting Standards Review Board chairman Warwick Hunt.
