Strata Depreciation Reports:  Prudent Financial Planning OR Unintended Consequences

Join us on October 14, 2021 as depreciation reports, CRF’s and special levies are discussed from a practical prudent financial perspective, and what the potential unintended consequences could be if one is not prudent when dealing with strata finances.  Our expert speakers will dive into this topic (sometimes controversial) and explain the reasons why.
