IFAC's Professional Accountancy Organization (PAO) Development and Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Committees recently held a landmark joint session while in Beijing, China, for their respective meetings. Hosted by the Chinese Institute of CPAs (CICPA), this seminal session provided an opportunity for the two IFAC committees and an important member body to share objectives and priorities. The session highlighted the mutually reinforcing activities of both groups and underscored the importance of continued collaboration between IFAC committees in working toward a mutual vision. The session also included a presentation by the CICPA, which provided an overview of the steady progress of the profession in China in addition to CICPA’s own experiences and future goals, including continued commitment to the work of IFAC.
