The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) recently appointed
three outstanding members of the global accountancy profession to lead
important committees supporting the profession across the world,
including Sri Lanka's Arjuna Herath. Monica Foerster has been appointed
as Chair of the Small and Medium Practices (SMP) Committee; Arjuna
Herath as Chair of the Professional Accountancy Organization (PAO)
Development Committee; and Charles Tilley, for a second term, as Chair
of the Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Committee. The IFAC
Board approved their appointments for three-year terms from January 1,
next year.
"All three Chairs are proven leaders with deep expertise and
profoundly committed to the public interest.
They bring substantial experience that will be of great benefit to
the global profession," said IFAC Chief Executive Officer Fayez
Choudhury.
"We look forward to working with them to advance our support for SMPs,
accountants in business, and the development of PAOs - all vital
components of a strong global accountancy profession," he said. The PAO
Development Committee serves as an important adviser to IFAC to develop,
promote, and strengthen the accountancy profession and PAOs in the
public interest.
