Fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants: I was a made a Fellow in December 2010. Fellowships are awarded for "outstanding contribution to the accountancy profession and service to the community" (www.nzica.com). At present there are 661 Fellows of the Institute, about 2% of the total membership.

Member of the College of Chartered Accountants (CA) of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants: Membership is restricted to those who have passed rigorous educational (degree level) and training (on the job and in professional accounting school) requirements; I gained admission in 2007 based on my research, including that for my PhD, and for teaching and examining for the educational and training components of the membership pathway.

Organising committee member and report judge for Executive Insight (2002-2007): Executive Insight is a programme organised by the local branch of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants that places 15-20 third or fourth year accounting students in a company, public sector organisation or accounting firm for three days to gain an insight into what accountants do and the students' future work prospects. The students write a report on what they have learnt about the workplace, how their studies apply in the workplace and give any recommendations they think are appropriate. I helped organise firms to take placements, recruited and selected students to participate, and judged the final reports.
