The Institute of Public Accountants (IPA) Group in Australia and Business Assistance Fiji (BAF) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to provide for an educational offering and membership pathway of the IPA Group for BAF members and associated parties.
IPA Chief Executive Officer Andrew Conway says this MOU seeks to continue the strong bond the IPA Group has in supporting Micro, Small and Medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and to further support international development activities within Fiji.
He says BAF has been established to meet the needs of the MSMEs sector in Fiji through the provision of high-quality business information, advice, and tailored business development services.
The MOU will specifically work towards developing a tailored education program and membership pathway for BAF members, partners, local students, and other interested parties.
Business Assistance Fiji General Manager Ramesh Chand says BAF is delighted to enter into this MOU with the IPA Group.
He says it is clear that BAF and IPA Group are well aligned to ensure their members continue to grow and develop.
This agreement is part of IPA Groups’ continued effort to increase the visibility and support for the accounting profession in Fiji and the South Pacific more broadly.
