From www.acuitymag.com: The 2024 CA ANZ Remuneration Survey highlights a persistent gender pay gap of 18% in Australia and 22% in New Zealand within the accounting profession, driven largely by underrepresentation of women in senior roles and systemic biases.

Increased awareness of the gap is noted among members, with calls for more women in leadership, greater pay transparency, and improved workplace flexibility to address the issue.

The survey indicates that while men earn significantly more than women, initiatives like flexible work arrangements and parental leave policies can contribute to closing the gap.
