IAPA offers Commercial Associate status to non-accountancy businesses that offer quality services complementing those provided by IAPA member firms.

Through IAPA, Commercial Associates gain immediate access to a global association of accountancy firms which can offer support in servicing the needs of existing clients and promote new business opportunities.

Commercial Associates enjoy all the usual benefits available to IAPA member firms. They have the right to attend conferences and other events organised by IAPA. They are entitled to describe themselves as "IAPA Commercial Associates", to use the IAPA logo and to have a direct link with the IAPA website.
