Wishing 2026 a brighter, more capable, and more cohesive year for communities across Aotearoa.

31/12/2025

2025 has been an incredible year of growth and collective impact for Community Accounting. This year represented real people, real communities, and real change across Aotearoa.

We saw rapid growth, with 163 Expressions of Interest in one semester, more than four times the previous year, leading to an additional mid-year intake and wider reach across regions and ethnic communities. The impact speaks for itself — organisations strengthened governance and financial capability, secured funding, and students gained valuable NZ experience, with several moving into local roles and full-time employment.

None of this would be possible without the generosity of our students, the dedication of our CA mentors, the trust of our community organisations, and the tireless support of the ANCAD team and Massey University School of Accounting. When we strengthen financial systems and governance, we strengthen our communities.

Thank you for being part of this journey — we look forward to continuing the mahi together in 2026 💚

What’s Up in August

It’s always great to see our students coming along to our events. These gatherings are a valuable way for them to build connections with local people and to experience how things can be done differently from back home.

What’s Up in July

Running an additional Community Accounting Programme has turned out to be more complex than expected, and it’s been pulling in most of my hours to make it work. I’m grateful for the support from the team in keeping things moving forward.

It’s always a great feeling to be back on campus and to meet the students in person. I count myself lucky that the sun was shining during each of my visits — it made the experience even better.
