Peter Rowe: Board Member, CPA

Director, Company Accountant & Treasurer:
Peter Rowe CPA

Each year, legitimately registered travel agents have to undergo a full independent audit by a qualified "Company Auditor". The organisation that reviews these audits (The Travel Compensation Fund - [TCF]) provides a audit index that classifies just how well a travel agency's audit trails are doing. Every registered and insured Australian Travel Agency must reach a score of 10 out of a maximum of 20 points in order to keep trading (without TCF-imposed conditions being invoked). The TCF can suspend or cancel a license to trade as a legitimate travel agent that does nto meet its strict audit requirements. Our TCF identification code is 7/9028. We are delighted to announce that we have just scored the perfect TCF audit score of 20/20 for the 2007/2008 financial year. We congratulate Peter and our accounting team for their hard work in finalising our stringent audit requirements.

We are delighted to announce that Travel With A Cause Inc has attained a fantastic record with regards to its TCF-related  accounting/audit scores. The Board of Directors acknowledges the crucial role played by Peter Rowe for his work in assisting us to adhere to these most demanding independently-audited standards. Peter Rowe is a Certified Practicing Accountant (CPA) of impeccable repute. Peter provides TWAC and Australian Discount Travel & tours  crucial oversight on matters of company book-keeping and importantly, he plays a vital role in establishing proper accounting & audit trails which comply with the most strict standards of company and taxation law.

Peter was an executive member of the Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International (FGBMFI) - Hobart Chapter - until it went into recess in June 2009. He has been commissioned to work with Paul Evans to establish a new Kingborough Chapter of FGBMFI which held its inaugural breakfast on 4th July 2009.
