Electronic conveyancing is here and with it some practical ethics challenges.
This session looks at what they are and how to handle them effectively, including:
From AI to automation, the rise of emerging technologies is transforming how accountants work. But while these tools promise efficiency and insight, they also raise new ethical questions. When does automation undermine professional judgement? How do you manage client confidentiality with cloud platforms? And what are your responsibilities when relying on data from third-party tools? This session explores how the profession’s ethical obligations—under APES 110 and the TASA 2009 —interact with the practical use of new technologies in accounting and tax practices.
In this Victorian property law update David McKenzie, from MNG Lawyers in Melbourne, provides a guide to current practices and procedures, statutory amendments, and possible future changes, affecting a range of conveyancing issues, including electronic conveyancing, disclosure requirements, off the plan contracts, and removal of caveats.

But a growing and less explored risk arises from how clients are using AI tools in connection with their legal matters. Clients are increasingly using AI to interpret legal advice, summarise communications, draft documents and prepare submissions. When these tools are used incorrectly, the consequences can include waiver of privilege, breaches of court undertakings, evidentiary issues and misunderstandings of legal advice.
