The Association of International Accountants (AIA) held its 90th Annual General Meeting today. The AGM was attended by AIA President Shahram Moallemi and AIA Vice Presidents Phillip Ford and Linda Richards.

All the resolutions of the AGM were passed, and the following members were re-elected to Council: Linda Richards, Twaraq Oozeerally, Hugh McCormack, and Andrew Lamb. The Council represent members of the Association and are responsible for setting AIA’s strategic direction and priorities.

AIA President Shahram Moallemi said, “The Covid-19 pandemic has been a catalyst for change. We have increased the pace of delivering our educational programme, for both qualifications and continuing professional development, allowing greater flexibility for both members and students and increased capacity in our global markets.

We have witnessed first-hand members embracing new opportunities in technologies, business advisory and client support services, adopting innovative solutions in response to the challenges they have faced across the world. We have also been pleased to support our members through these testing times by making improvements to our knowledge sharing, guidance and training, which has meant that members could support the businesses and organisations in which they work.

Despite the challenges we have faced this year, we have maintained the highest standards in professional education and membership, developed as an organisation and delivered many of the core strategic objectives we had set ourselves.
Our strategy remains focussed on delivering at speed to ensure the continued growth of the AIA and fully committed to our core values of collaboration, innovation, excellence, integrity, and respect.”
