Professional Accountancy Organization Development Committee Perspectives

At the February 2012 Professional Accountancy Organization (PAO) Development Committee Meeting in Dubai, UAE, the committee held discussions on the development of PAOs throughout the Middle East region. Committee members, observers, and guests from national, regional, and global stakeholders participated in these discussions. Points made during the course of the meeting have been refined into this informal high-level guidance.

The core themes resulting from these conversations may be particularly informative to individuals and organizations currently working to establish, or strengthen, PAOs throughout the Middle East.
