The overall business environment in Australia remains fragile, with many organisations operating under a variety of challenging conditions, including:

  • Constrained liquidity
  • Increased difficulty in satisfying banking covenants
  • Tightening of business investment to protect balance sheet
  • Staff rationalisation
  • The need for new profit management strategies following recent performance downturns
  • Volatile share price and investor uncertainty
