The Association of International Accountants (AIA) has been accepted to membership of the European Federation of Accountants and Auditors for SMEs (EFAA).
 

An IFAC Network Partner, the EFAA is an umbrella organisation for 15 national accounting, auditing and tax advisor organisations that collectively have more than 380,000 individual members. These individual members are mainly small and medium-sized practitioners (SMPs), including a significant number of sole practitioners, that provide a range of professional services (e.g. audit and assurance, accounting, bookkeeping, tax, and business advice) primarily to small and medium-sized entities (SMEs) within the European Union and Europe as a whole. Formed in 1994, EFAA is a sectorial member of SMEunited and a founding member of the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG).
 

AIA President, Shahram Moallemi said: “SMEs are the backbone of Europe’s economy and small- and medium-sized accounting practices (SMPs) are their most important provider of compliance and advisory services. AIA looks forward to working with EFAA in supporting and promoting SMPs, contributing to their work in the promotion of professional standards, and advocating for sustainable, ‘future ready’ SMPs.”
 

EFAA President, Salvador Marin said: “Our fast-growing membership is testimony to the value of our work and the need for a strong voice representing small- and medium-sized practices (SMPs) in Europe. AIA is a natural fit for EFAA. Many of its members work in or as SMPs. We look forward to working with AIA and its members to contribute to our mission to support and strengthen SMPs and their SME clients.”

 

AIA加入欧洲中小企业会计师和审计师协会

国际会计师公会（AIA）已被接纳为欧洲中小企业会计师和审计师协会（EFAA）的成员。
 

作为IFAC的网络合作伙伴，EFAA是15个国家会计，审计和税务顾问组织的伞式组织，这些组织共有380，000多名个人成员。这些个人成员主要是中小型从业人员（SMP），包括大量从业人员，他们主要向欧盟和整个欧洲的中小型实体（SME）提供一系列专业服务（例如审计和鉴证，会计，簿记，税务和商业咨询）。EFAA成立于1994年，是SMEUnited的部门成员，也是欧洲财务报告咨询小组（EFRAG）的创始成员。
 

AIA会长Shahram Moallemi表示：“中小企业是欧洲经济的支柱，中小型会计实务（SMP）是他们最重要的合规和咨询服务提供者。AIA期待与EFAA合作，支持和促进中小企业计划，为他们推广专业标准的工作做出贡献，并倡导可持续的，'面向未来'的SMP。
 

EFAA主席Salvador Marin说：“我们快速增长的成员体量证明了我们工作的价值，以及代表欧洲中小型实践（SMP）的强大声音的必要性。AIA是EFAA的天然选择。其许多成员在SMP中工作或作为SMP工作。我们期待与AIA及其成员合作，为支持和加强中小企业及其中小企业客户的使命做出贡献。
