"Quality means doing it right when no one is looking" – Henry Ford
"Quality is the sum of many things: our systems and processes, our commitment to learning, the way we engage and treat our clients, our teams and so much more. It manifests itself in many ways including consistency of delivery and exceeding client expectations"- Kelvin Deer - ABN

Australian Bookkeepers Network: The QMS Intensive
The ABN Approach to QMS
ABNs 2-speed approach to QMS is designed to provide help at your desired level. We are being driven to document our QMS as a Code of Conduct requirement. If we don’t have one, we are breaching the Code and may be subject to TPB sanction. ABN is driven to ensure all our members comply with their Code obligations and our 2-speed approach puts you in the drivers seat to choose the pathway that matches your desired QMS result and the time you intend to devote to it. ABN’s 2-speed includes:
- Supported Approach: The QMS Intensive
- Assisted Approach: QMS Manual
Supported – QMS Intensive
Supported Approach: ABN has created The QMS Intensive which is designed to produce a QMS document that is highly customised. The QMS Intensive walks you through a systematic and structured build process with appropriate instructional material and videos. It is supported with some of our templates and checklists while demonstrating how you incorporate your existing quality management tools into the final document. Importantly the end product is a documented QMS that is truly reflective of your business.
Assisted – QMS Manual
Assisted Approach: ABN has created a manual that will assist you as you work through the build process of your QMS that will comply with the TASA Code of Conduct requirements. The manual will be located in the Member Section of the ABN Members website and is provided free of charge to members. If you are not an ABN Member go to www.austbook.net
Quality and your QMS
I think we can all appreciate that quality is no accident. Henry Ford is credited with the quote “quality means doing it right when no one is looking” and that is so true. So how do we ensure that quality just happens and it is definitely no accident? Planning, process, systems, risk management, ethics, team supervision, training, continuous improvement and customer focus are all important elements that play a part. You can build templates, checklists and procedures and they play an important part. A documented QMS, when done right, ties the various elements together.
Your QMS Obligation
Legislation was introduced affective from 1 July 2025, requiring us to document our Quality Management System (QMS). The Tax Practitioners Board (TPB) have released an Information Statement TPB(I) 48/2024 that provides some guidance for minimum inclusions that address your Code of Conduct Obligations. It is this change by the regulator that changes a QMS from a 'nice to have' to a 'must have'.
Australian Bookkeepers Network (ABN) is committed to assist you in meeting your legal obligations. It is also committed to the pursuit of quality and to assisting its members in the documentation of their QMS.
