APPEA said that while the conference does not have a specific theme it is expected to look at a range of business reform issues such as uniform capital allowance provisions and consolidations.

The Petroleum Resource Rent tax will also be covered in addition to compliance issues relating to GST and reporting requirements, especially relating to Australian oil and gas operations. Company valuations in the context of mergers and acquisitions will also receive attention.
