Regional and Specialist Groups

Member firms in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific are organised into regional groupings whose activities are directed by their respective Regional Boards.  Each group has delegated responsibility within its respective region for membership recruitment, membership activities and promotional work.  Through these groupings, member firms have access to a range of additional activities designed to strengthen cooperation and contact and to promote opportunities for collaborative ventures.

The contacts for each regional group are:

Americas Regional Group
Chairman: Debra Hunter  debra@hunterhagan.com

Europe Regional Group
Chairman: Jan Huygens jan.huygens@aaudit.eu

Asia Pacific Regional Group
Chairman: Wayne Price wayne@castletons.com.au

National Accounting Groups

In a number of countries where IAPA is strongly represented, member firms have joined together within National Accounting Groups (NAGs). National Accounting Groups enjoy considerable autonomy within the global structure. They run their own programmes of activity and have delegated responsibility for the recruitment of new member firms.

Member firms within the National Accounting Groups are expected to meet the quality standards required of all other IAPA member firms. For further details about IAPA's National Accounting Groups, follow the links below or contact the nominated Contact Partner:
