IFAC-ASEAN Federation of Accountants Workshop Summaries
Beginning in October 2021, the ASEAN Federation of Accountants (AFA) hosted a series of seven monthly workshops focusing on IFAC’s requirements for member organizations, the Statements of Membership Obligations (SMOs). The last workshop was held in May 2022.
These workshops helped AFA member professional accountancy organization’s (PAOs) follow and maintain IFAC’s requirements as all AFA primary and associate members are also IFAC member organizations. The workshops also served as a refresher from the 2017 in-person workshop held in Hanoi, Vietnam and allowed new PAO staff and volunteers to familiarize themselves with IFAC’s requirements, appreciate IFAC’s approach in assessing compliance, and hear from their fellow AFA members on best practices.
