ACCA to be lead sponsor for World Congress of Accountants in Istanbul
The world's largest and fastest growing professional international accountancy body, ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), will be the lead sponsor for the 17th World Congress of Accountants, which will be held in Istanbul in November 2006.
ACCA is the Diamond Sponsor for the Congress, which is being hosted by The Union of the Chambers of Certified Public Accountants of Turkey (Turmob) and The Expert Accountants’ Association of Turkey (EAAT), and co-hosted by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) at the Istanbul Convention and Exhibition Centre from November 13 to 16, and which is expected to attract 5,000 delegates from the profession.
ACCA Chief Executive Allen Blewitt said:
"ACCA is delighted to be lead sponsor for the 17th World Congress. We felt it was appropriate to support the congress to this level because we have over 80,000 members and students in the surrounding region, many of whom will be represented at the congress. We are also delighted to be able to support the Turmob, one of the hosts, with whom we have a very positive relationship and with whom we are working to help promote and develop the accountancy profession."
