Business Alert at 9:00am With CVA – Purpose & Values 101

Clear Vision • February 27, 2019

When you read about successful businesses, these words are sprouted so easily but for most it’s difficult to grasp what the difference is.

So what is the difference between a Company Purpose and Company Values?

Company Purpose

A purpose statement derives from what got you started in the first place. It conveys what your business stands for and why. A company’s purpose is the driving force that enables a company to define its true brand and create its desired culture.

Before you start working on yours, watch Simon Sinek ‘Why’ on YouTube, it’s inspiring!

Company Values

These are the rules and boundaries that are a part of the company’s foundation. They’re your company’s core nonnegotiable rules.

Your company’s Core Values should so completely penetrate your company that you would be comfortable referring employees to them when faced with a tough decision or ethical dilemma.

Having a Purpose & Values help determine a company’s direction. Successful business owners use these to engage their employees and to keep themselves on track. It’s your compass, guiding you towards your business desires.

From 1 July 2025, the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate in Australia will increase to 12%. This means employers will be legally required to contribute at least 12% of an eligible employee's ordinary time earnings to their superannuation fund. This increase is the final step in a legislated rise from 9.5% in 2021 to 12% by 2025, aimed at boosting retirement savings for Australian workers. If you use Xero for payroll, the SG rate should automatically update in the system. However, we recommend you double-check your payroll settings to ensure everything is correct. If you’re unsure or need assistance, please contact your bookkeeper or get in touch with us at: Clear Vision Accountancy Group (07) 4688 2500 We’re here to help you stay compliant and avoid any costly errors.
