The events also recognised ACCA’s prizewinning students, newly awarded approved employers, Practical Experience Supervisors and winners of ACCA advocacy awards.

ACCA’s head of Pakistan, Assad Hameed Khan, initiated the ceremonies by welcoming the new members including fellows and high achievers, emphasising on the vital role played by professional accountants in nation building as well as contribution towards an inclusive, resilient and sustainable national economic growth.

Speaking to the new members, ACCA President, Joseph Owoloabi, said:

‘Accountancy is an increasingly meritocratic profession, where the content of your character and the quality of your mind and your work mean much more than nationality or background. Your global credentials mean that the welcome mat will be

rolled out for you by top employers all over the world, in all of the 178 countries where our members are active.’

In a video message, President Dr Arif Alvi, said,

‘ACCAs certainly have the potential to change and rebuild the economy of Pakistan. The accountancy profession plays a central role in the economic development of any country. Accountants are uniquely placed to help drive transparency and be at the forefront of the global fight against corruption.’
