A growing market for government consulting, and the rising impact of regulation on business, have prompted mid-tier accounting firm BDO to recruit a former local chief of Australia's corporate watchdog, Jane Gouvernet.
Jane Gouvernet has been appointed acting regional commissioner for the Australian Securities and Investments Commission in WA, following the retirement of long-standing commissioner Bruce Dodd.
A former senior partner of law firm Mallesons Stephen Jacques in Perth, Bruce Dodd, has been appointed as the state's regional commissioner by the corporate watchdog.
As a lawyer who undertakes recovery action for corporate clients and litigious matters for accounting firms specialising in insolvency, Bruce Dodd is familiar with the notion of helping people along the road to recovery.
