Obviously if you, or a loved one, are looking into elder care, I highly recommend visiting the Hammond Care Contact page šŸ‘Œ

This website exists because CPA Australia essentially sanctioned the abuse of my vulnerable mother šŸ˜ 

I introduced CPA member 798774 to my vulnerable mother who suffers Alzheimer’s dementia and is rehabilitating from a near fatal stroke.

CPA member 798774 was informed and acknowledged the following:

  • My concern for my motherā€™s physical/mental capacity and itā€™s deterioration through personal observation. Quick ref
  • The reason for urgency in understanding my motherā€™s financial position. Quick ref
  • Dissatisfaction with Scott the son-in-law working for my mother due to conflict of interest. Quick ref
  • My belief that my motherā€™s sister Elaine was committing elder abuse against my mother. Quick ref
  • Conflict of interest violations by motherā€™s previous accountant. Quick ref
  • Concerns my motherā€™s previous accountantā€™s was trying to alienate me from my motherā€™s financial affairs. Quick ref

CPA member 798774 is:

  • Making false and malicious statements about my intentions towards mother. Quick ref
  • Demonstrating CPAā€™s decision to allow his conduct is justification for his actions. Quick ref
  • Stated intentions to report false allegations of violence against me. Quick ref
  • Stated intentions to use report of false allegations to damage my business and professional reputation. Quick ref
  • Suggests appointing Elaine my motherā€™s sister and Scott, Elaineā€™s son-in-law to have ultimate control over my motherā€™s finances. Quick ref

Basically he wants the complete alienation of my mother and I.

I reported CPA member 798774 member to CPA. CPA determined that, Their membersā€™ behaviour was legal, and therefore acceptable.

I believe CPAā€™s decision to disregard ethics and morals was the kindling for the exploitation and abuse of my mother and I are currently experiencing.

A sister site in relation to another bad actor can be located here.

I encourage reading the documentation and make your own conclusion whether;

    1. CPA has a duty to stop their member from abusing my mother and I? and,

    2. CPA should make efforts to remediate the abuse being inflicted by their member?

My artistic representation of the current situation.

Prologue

My mother granted power of attorney to her sister Elaine and I before suffering a stroke. After the stroke, Elaine managed banking, appointing her accountant, who employed Elaineā€™s son-in-law Scott.

I discovered inappropriate payments to Scott, sought accountability without success. Concerned about potential exploitation, I invoked power of attorney to dismiss the accountant and Scott. I then engaged my own accountant at the time, CPA member 798774, who become my motherā€™s accountant.

Discovery of inappropriate communication and exclusion by CPA member 798774

I discovered communication a significant payment(over quarter of a million) on behalf of my mother was going to be paid to the ATO without discussion with my motherā€™s POAs. Quick ref

I demanded an explanation from CPA Member 798774 and CPA Member 798774 shocking response

Annoyed, I demanded explanation for CPA Member 798774ā€™s actions. Quick ref

  1. He, not my mother, decided not to include me in the correspondence. Quick ref
  2. I was ā€œthreatening and intimidatingā€ him. Quick ref

A basic fundamental question was asked of CPA member 798774

Frustrated with CPA member 798774ā€™s unnecessary and insulting communication, I asked a simple question:
If CPA member 798774 fundamentally believed my mother has the ability to understand and explain her current position with the ATO? Quick ref

Which had to be reiterated. Quick ref

CPA Member 798774ā€™s response and subsequent termination

CPA Member 798774 answered my mother did have the ability to understand and explain her current position with the ATO, which is absurd! Quick ref

As previously stated, Iā€™ve asked my mother about her financial position and she has no idea. Even if she could explain her financial position to me, because of her condition, I would at least like confirmation from her accountant. I had no choice but to dismiss him. Quick ref

If CPA Member 798774 doesnā€™t believe or want to communicate with me, he is not a suitable accountant for my vulnerable mother. It canā€™t be more candid than that.

Ā Infuriatingly CPA Conduct stated they wonā€™t take any action unless there is formal documentation stating my mother does not have capacity! Quick ref I accept the requirement for documentation and request a compromise, which is member 798774 cease contact with my mother until documentation can be obtained. Quick refĀ

CPA Conductā€™s misbegotten formal decision and my attempt to remain on topic.

Frustratingly CPA Conduct still fails to grasp my initial complaint about their member and dismiss my complaint as a private matter between my mother and I. Quick ref

Similar to CPA member 798774, I decide to simplify the situation and asked CPA Conduct a basic question:

Does their member have the authority to make decision on behalf of my vulnerable mother, and alienate/exclude the only next of kin and POA? Quick ref

CPA formerly closes the complaint and refused to engage any further on the matter.

Frustratingly CPA provides An off topic response, Similar to CPA member 798774 I try to keep the topic on course. Quick ref

CPAā€™s response is to close the matter. Quick ref
