When The Licence Is At Risk: What QBCC Sees Before Your Client Does

For a construction client, the licence is the business. You can restructure the debt, negotiate with creditors and a payment plan in place with the ATO, but if the licence goes there is nothing left to trade. Most advisors only see the QBCC side of a client’s position once a notice to show cause has already landed on the desk.

In October,  Ashley Shield, Executive Director at de Jonge Read® will be joined by Natasha Dennis-Weller, Advisor for Financial Compliance at the Queensland Building and Construction Commission (QBCC). Rather than another walk through the minimum financial requirements, Natasha will show you what the regulator is seeing across the market, what brings a licensee to its attention, and what happens once it does.

Key insights you’ll gain: 

🔹 Where compliance is breaking down across the building industry right now, so you know what to look for in your own client book
🔹 The triggers that bring a client to QBCC’s attention, and how to recognise them in what you are already seeing
🔹 What a notice to show cause actually requires from your client, what a strong response looks like, and how long you have to build one
🔹 What tips a file over into licence suspension or cancellation, including the insolvency events that exclude a director from holding a licence at all
🔹 The practical steps you can put in front of a client to keep them compliant and protect their licence before pressure builds
🔹 What options remain once financial or operational pressure starts to show, and how early you need to raise it for those options to still be open

This session will help you understand your QLD builder client’s licence risk in the information you already hold, and be clear on when to raise it while your client still has choices.

Spotting Client Distress Early: Identifying the Clients Who Need You Most

Hank de Jonge from de Jonge Read® invites you to join Stan Corner from BAW (the team behind ATOmate and Omble), for a webinar on how accounting practices can proactively identify clients showing signs of financial distress before the situation becomes critical.

By the time a client asks for help, their options may already be limited. The earlier you identify the warning signs, the greater the opportunity to intervene, protect the business, and strengthen the client relationship.

This session will explore the warning signs hiding in ATO data, how to identify patterns of client distress across your database, and how proactive intervention can help advisors deliver better outcomes for their clients.

What You’ll Learn:
🔹The early warning signs of client distress hidden in ATO data
🔹How to identify at-risk clients before problems become critical
🔹What patterns to look for, including missed lodgments, payment arrangement changes, and escalating debt balances
🔹A practical approach to reviewing and prioritising your client list
🔹How to start proactive conversations with clients showing signs of financial pressure
🔹How technology like ATOmate and Omble can help surface these risks at scale

During this webinar, Stan will share how greater visibility of ATO data helps practices identify early warning signs of client risk, move from reactive to proactive client management, and prioritise the clients who need support before issues become critical.

Discover how proactive intervention and earlier visibility can help you better support clients, strengthen relationships, and take action before it’s too late.
