Global Solutions Must Reflect Regional Realities, Says IFAC
As economies face converging challenges, global solutions must reflect regional realities.
That’s the purpose of IFAC Connect, a global event series from the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), that brings together professional accountancy organizations, regulators, businesses, investors, and other leaders to share insights and work together to drive meaningful change.
Lee White, Chief Executive Officer, and Manuel Arias, Principal, Introduce IFAC Connect
Now in its second year, IFAC Connect is a platform for engagement and action. Stakeholders share insights and develop solutions that align with global baselines, and local leaders are empowered to drive transformation.
In 2025, IFAC will hold four events in the series across the globe:
- Africa: Nairobi, Kenya. August 19-20.
- Middle East & North Africa (MENA): Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. October 2.
- Latin America (IFAC Connect Global): Mexico City, Mexico. November 12-13.
- Asia Pacific: Jakarta, Indonesia. December 5.
Lee White, Chief Executive Officer of IFAC said, “Through IFAC Connect, we work alongside our members and the Forum of Firms to promote international standards, share best practices, and collectively shape the future of the profession in service of the public interest and stronger, more resilient economies.
To meaningfully respond to global challenges, we must have alignment and cooperation with governments, regulators, standard setters, and the entire ecosystem. As our profession’s our collective voice, we are key drivers of positive momentum by breaking across those sector silos and creating real progress.”
Participation is by invitation only. Visit IFAC Connect for more information or contact your IFAC regional manager.
