How businesses can close out FY24–25 on solid footing and start strong in FY25–26
Many Australian businesses are bracing for increased compliance scrutiny as the financial year draws to a close. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has flagged several key focus areas for FY24–25, including overdue tax debts, work-related expenses, capital gains, and rental income. Non-compliance in these areas can lead to substantial penalties, interest charges, and even legal action, as repeated late lodgements can result in increased fines, while unresolved tax debts could trigger garnishee notices or legal proceedings. This serves as a timely reminder to businesses of all sizes: take the end of the financial year (EOFY) seriously or risk facing serious consequences. Businesses with inconsistent record-keeping, unclear financial workflows, or unpaid obligations are more likely to attract attention. The ATO has invested in advanced data-matching tools and artificial intelligence (AI) to cross-check reported income and deductions against third-party sources, meaning even minor oversights can trigger audit activity or delays in processing. The most common pain points during EOFY tend to come down to two things: disorganised processes and incomplete information. It's easy to miss valid deductions when receipts are scattered across inboxes or stored on personal devices as manual reconciliation can take days for lean financial teams. Payments to suppliers can also slip through the cracks when approval workflows are unclear or not followed consistently. These issues might seem minor in isolation; however, they often reflect deeper structural problems in how expenses and invoices are managed. Now is the time to close those gaps. Businesses should start by gathering complete records for income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. Finance personnel need to go beyond general ledgers and profit-and-loss statements, and carefully review reimbursement claims, subscription costs, software expenses, and travel records. The next step is to consolidate the data to get a single, accurate view of payments, especially if the business has used multiple systems to process payments or expenses. It's important to also check whether claims align with ATO expectations. For example, the ATO has emphasised again that work-from-home deductions must reflect actual usage, not estimates. It also continues to highlight common errors in rental income reporting and capital gains declarations. These areas are under close watch, and discrepancies are harder to defend when documentation is patchy. Compliance is only one part of the EOFY picture. Cybercriminals target finance teams with tax-themed scams at this time of year. According to the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC), Australians lost more than $152 million to payment redirection scams in 2024, up from $91.6 million the previous year, making it one of the top five scam types by financial loss. This highlights the need for tighter controls. Business leaders must review who has approval access, how and where sensitive documents are stored, and the process used to verify vendor details. It's also critical to validate that everyone involved in payments or account management understands these risks and are trained to spot suspicious activity. Businesses that want to reduce risk and simplify EOFY reporting can make immediate gains by automating expense and invoice management. Automation tools reduce reliance on spreadsheets and email chains while applying consistent rules and approval flows simultaneously, which helps teams process claims faster and with fewer errors. This gives businesses of all sizes clearer visibility into spending and more accurate data for compliance reporting and strategic planning. Businesses can shift their focus to FY25–26 ahead once EOFY obligations are complete. Notably, e-invoicing will become mandatory for all Commonwealth agencies and their suppliers from 1 July 2025. Adopting this early can help businesses reduce processing times, cut operating costs, and improve cash flow. The start of the financial year is the ideal time to step back and assess what's working and what needs improvement. Delays in approvals, hard-to-produce reports, or unclear spending are signs of deeper process issues. Now's the time to fix them. EOFY is an opportunity for businesses of all sizes to improve how they manage spending, reporting, and decision-making. Those that invest in better systems now will be better positioned to grow in the year ahead.

Vectra AI named leader in 2025 Gartner report for NDR sector
Vectra AI has been recognised as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response (NDR). The Gartner Magic Quadrant is a research methodology and graphical representation that evaluates technology vendors within a specific market, in this instance the emerging field of NDR. Vectra AI was positioned highest for Ability to Execute and furthest for Completeness of Vision in this latest report, marking a significant recognition within the cybersecurity sector. The distinction comes as cybersecurity concerns remain prominent for organisations in Australia, with data from PWC indicating that 67% of Australian organisations have identified cyber risk as their top concern in the coming year. Other issues, including inflation, economic volatility, and geopolitical factors, were ranked as lesser priorities. In response to these concerns, half of the organisations surveyed plan to increase their cybersecurity budgets by at least 6% in 2025. Vectra AI's platform is designed to defend hybrid environments against identity and network-based attacks. According to the company, its AI agents continuously triage, correlate, and prioritise genuine threats in real time, an approach intended to accelerate response and reduce alert fatigue for security professionals. The platform provides coverage across cloud infrastructure, data centres, remote workforces, and operational technology domains, supporting security teams in their efforts to mature their security operations. Hitesh Sheth, Founder and CEO of Vectra AI, commented on Gartner's decision to initiate a Magic Quadrant for NDR. "Gartner's decision to publish a Magic Quadrant for NDR reflects just how essential this market has become in modern cyber defence," said Sheth. He added, "Being recognised as a Leader in this inaugural report reinforces Vectra AI's position at the forefront of this critical space. As organisations grapple with growing complexity, identity-based attacks, and AI-driven threats, the Vectra AI Platform delivers what modern defenders need – coverage that reduces exposure, clarity that cuts through the noise, and control to act with speed and confidence." Vectra AI is also the only vendor in the report to have been named both a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for NDR and a Customer Choice Winner in the 2024 Gartner Peer Insights Voice of the Customer for NDR. According to Gartner Peer Insights, as of January 2024, Vectra AI holds a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 96 customer reviews, with 96% indicating they would recommend the platform. This customer feedback has contributed to its positioning in the latest Magic Quadrant report. The increasing complexity of cybersecurity threats, including the speed at which attackers can move laterally across identity, cloud, and network layers, has heightened demand for integrated security solutions. Sector analysts and Vectra AI alike have noted that traditional, siloed security tools can leave organisations vulnerable, driving the need for unified visibility and AI-driven detection capabilities to respond rapidly to threats. The NDR market has grown as organisations seek to supplement existing security strategies with solutions capable of offering greater detection accuracy and more timely responses. Vectra AI's platform aims to provide security teams with the means to detect, hunt, investigate, and respond to attacks spanning the full threat landscape. The company has been acknowledged for its commitment to customer satisfaction, with product performance and support frequently highlighted in customer reviews. Vectra AI maintains a focus on ongoing development to keep pace with the continuously evolving tactics used by threat actors targeting modern networks. The Gartner report recognises vendors that demonstrate both the ability to execute on their strategy and the completeness of their vision in the NDR market. Vectra AI's dual accolades from both analyst and customer perspectives come as cyber defence continues to be prioritised by organisations concerned about the shifting digital threat landscape.

Diamonds and their pearls moment
Diamonds are having a pearls moment. Once upon a time pearls were the world's most valuable jewellery item – their extreme rarity making them the way to display wealth to the world. But in the early 1900s Japanese pearl famers worked out how to culture them and for the first time, a string of round pearls became affordable and obtainable. Now, lab-grown diamonds, indistinguishable from mined diamonds, are flooding onto the market, at a tenth of the price of those that came out of the earth. But before you rush out to buy a ring that will give you more bang for your buck, think again – the price of yellow gold has risen so much that if you want your sparkler set in a gold band, it could well have cancelled out your savings. 'We've had big movements in diamond prices, in both mined and lab diamonds, over the past five years,' says Newsroom business reporter Alice Peacock. 'A lot of jewellers, a lot of retailers have been getting into the lab space, and manufacturing of lab diamonds has increased a lot over the past decade. They've been around for a few decades but have really taken off in popularity over the last 10 years. 'There's a bit of confused terminology around what lab diamonds are, but they are real diamonds. The chemical and the physical makeup of them is exactly the same. Essentially you can't tell the difference. I think people have different ideas about the ethics of them, but again that's a bit of a murky area.' The split between customers who want a lab or a mined diamond varies greatly between outlets, but Peacock says Michael Hill Jeweller told her it's still lower than 50 percent. In its Canadian and Australian stores however, the demand is higher. In the US demand is soaring. Zoë and Morgan is a bespoke jeweller in Auckland. If you look at the company's website you will see side by side two rings, a two-carat lab diamond for $6,000, and a mined diamond of 1.01 carats for $16,700. Zoë Williams is the co-owner of Zoë and Morgan, a bespoke jeweller in Auckland. Photo: Alexia Russell Zoë Williams is the co-owner, and says at the moment more than half of her customers are opting for a lab-grown diamond – but it's a really changeable situation. She tells The Detail that many customers come in who don't know what lab diamonds are, or who think they're fake. 'It's been fun just to be able to chat about the different processes … obviously the way diamonds have been extracted through history is really horrible.' However the increasing popularity of lab diamonds has forced the 'natural' diamond industry to improve their game, with more ethical operations, and giving back to the communities they're taken from. Williams explains how jewellers can trace the origins of mined stones using the code each one comes with. 'In modern times, all of those mining processes have had to become much more ethically minded to come up to speed with how we should be treating our humans in the world. 'And that's a fantastic thing. That's what I personally quite like about the lab diamonds coming onto the market, is it's …. caused the other side of the industry to really tidy up their act and to really become a lot more responsible. And within all of these things there's pros and cons … but I do feel like we've made some great advances in the last few years.' But lab-grown diamonds aren't spotless when it comes to sustainability – it takes an immense amount of energy to make them and there are nasty chemicals involved. Williams says the diamond market is also no longer just about engagement rings, but people are buying them to mark special moments in their lives – from the 21-year-old who's celebrating getting a job, to someone who's not waiting for someone to give them a diamond, to those who've made it to 40 and are happy with where they are in life. They might not be quite the investment they used to be sold as, but Williams questions if that really matters. 'Sometimes I like the idea that it doesn't stand up financially, but it holds an incredible story, and it holds a lot of personal value, and I think that's really important as well.'
