This week in Nairobi, IFAC ConnectTM Africa 2025 brings together public and private sector leaders, regulators, standard setters, and professional accountancy organizations to accelerate a shared vision for sustainable development across the continent.
Convened by the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) and co-hosted with the Pan African Federation of Accountants (PAFA) and the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Kenya (ICPAK), IFAC Connect Africa 2025 launches the second annual IFAC Connect series, designed to ensure international standards and best practices support local solutions.
