GAA Passport for Member Services
Now all members of Global Accounting Alliance (GAA) Institutes can obtain local professional support when working in another country covered by the GAA.
All eleven Institutes have agreed to host visitors from other GAA Institutes while they are working in their jurisdiction. Visitors will be able to receive certain services at no fee, such as:
- electronic copies of host Institute's magazine (where available)
- electronic newsletters
- member rates for Continuing Professional Development and networking events, affinity products
- access to meeting rooms, libraries, information services and technical help at member rates (where available)
This service reflects the global significance of approximately 775,000 professional accountants in over 165 countries covered by the Global Accounting Alliance and will help in ensuring their ongoing high standards of professional service. All Global Accounting Alliance Institutes will offer similar services.

The report summarises the range of discussions and views expressed at the roundtables, examining the many emerging thoughts, ideas and actions proposed.
Finally, the report outlines actions which should lead to financial reporting becoming simpler and more useful.
