Nearly 30 experts from the accounting standards setting departments, accounting regulators, and the accountancy profession from all 11 countries in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) participated in the first workshop.
Promoting Belt and Road connectivity, a duty for the accountancy profession
Li Kouqing, president of the SNAI, said at the opening ceremony that strengthening the construction of accounting infrastructure is vital for improving economic development as a sound accounting infrastructure can promote a country's growth and stability.
According to Li, the accounting infrastructure consists of three factors, namely the accounting standard system, accounting regulatory framework and accounting talent system.
At present, there are differences in the accounting standards and accounting professionals of the Belt and Road countries, including the Central Asian countries.
An ACCA press release said that promoting the connectivity of accounting infrastructure should be a due part of the Belt and Road cooperation, and is also a duty for those in the accountancy profession.
