Arab Society For Certified Accountants - ASCA Membership

ASCA Membership

ASCA works hard and on a continuous basis to meet all professional requirements to make it eligible to receive appropriate international status. Accordingly, ASCA became an active member in the following international organizations and committees:

• The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC)
• The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
• UN Intergovernmental Working Group of Experts on International Standards of Accounting and Reporting (ISAR)
• The International Committee for Accounting Education and Research
• UN International Professional Accounting Qualification Committee (IPAQC).

In 1998, ASCA was invited by the International Accounting Standards Board and the International Federation of Accountants to participate in preparing International Accounting Standards, International Financial Reporting Standards and International Auditing, Assurance and Ethics pronouncements. These two professional organizations have accredited ASCA as the sole Arab society for translating all their publications on accountancy and auditing standards and distributing them throughout the Arab world.

ASCA also has participated in preparing quality control standards to evaluate the performance of accountants and members of professional societies who are members of the IFAC to ensure their good performance and adherence to the appropriate international standards.

Based on the value that ASCA attaches to continuing professional education, a number of specialized training programs in the fields of accounting and auditing are offered by ASCA or through recognized academic institutions throughout the Arab world such as the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh College of Business (TAGCB) at the German-Jordanian University (GJU).
