3. ANZUIAG: An ‘outsiders’ view Strengths Good rapport and networking amongst members Conferences well-attended and well structured Good benchmarking information/initiative. Tightly focussed on IA in HE Expanded focus on risk management Demonstrated management support Voluntary contributions bring commitment E-Mail list Weaknesses Small member base in comparison to other administrative professional groups within the sector such as ATEM, TEFMA (although this could be considered as strength ) Limited functionality beyond annual conference No presence with peak bodies like UA, Go8 and UTN etc. (IA and RM disciplines not heard or considered as a collective when decision-makers meet) Limited and mostly voluntary resources Opportunities Scale from mergers/collaboration with AURIMS, IIA or other similar organisations Lobbying and thought leadership (potential through UA/Go8/UTN) More sustained connection with international ANZUIAG equivalents such as ACUA. Greater contribution to individual uni IA outcomes by harnessing combined power of the collective. Sector specific training potential. Threats No ‘voice’ – sector lobbying bodies rely solely on Go8 Finance Director and Registrars group and/or Go8 Legal group to present views on risk, governance and audit. TEQSA agenda not being informed by the relevant professionals Outsourcing: Big 4 and second tier take over thought leadership.

4. AURIMS: An ‘outsiders’ view Strengths Solid and broad risk management and insurance focus Good membership base (100+) Recent conferences well attended Insurance function well accepted within sector Weaknesses Leadership stability/continuity? No image with peak bodies like UA and Go8 Limited financial base Risk management not as entrenched/accepted as insurance. Staffing profile is relatively junior in comparison with internal audit. Opportunities Scale (resources?) through collaboration with TEFMA, ANZUIAG or other similar organisations Lobbying (potential through UA/Go8/UTN) More sustained connection with international AURIMS equivalents such as URMIA (I think this goes out of ‘focus’ somewhat) Other points are somewhat ‘wish list’ rather than specific opportunities in the here and now Threats (none of these are ANZUIAG threats) No ‘voice’ – sector lobbying bodies rely solely on Go8 Finance Director and Registrars group and/or Go8 Legal group to present views on risk, governance and audit. (I am not sure on this, what evidence?) TEQSA agenda not being informed by the relevant professionals. (Again not sure that this is a threat, probably an opportunity) Outsourcing: Big 4, McKinsey, BCG etc move into risk management in tertiary sector.

5. Could an ‘ANZURAI’ work?  An Australian and New Zealand Universities Risk, Audit & Insurance body?  Greater scale could afford a merged entity: A voice! Lobbying power (through UA, Go8, UTN, NZVCC, RMIA, IIA etc) Sector specific training across all disciplines. Higher profile events with ‘heavyweight’ speakers (bigger, better annual conference) but still allowing for specialist streams. Career development and professional leadership within the sector Broader discussion forums Better sponsorship An ability to shape rather than be shaped by those who think they know.  Hasten slowly by considered co-operation, collaboration before combining?
