Background of IFA International Financial Accounting Project
China's financial market is fully open, and there are more and more foreign-related affairs in various production and business activities. With the promulgation of the new accounting standards by the Ministry of Finance of China in February 2006, it was first implemented in listed companies in June 2007 (5438+ 10) and gradually extended to large and medium-sized enterprises nationwide in 2008, marking the formal integration of China's accounting system with the international community. Facing the advance of economic globalization and the implementation of international accounting standards, it has become an urgent task for Chinese accountants to update their knowledge and optimize their knowledge structure to cope with increasingly complex international accounting affairs.
Global economic integration and internationalization of enterprise management have driven the demand for a large number of international accounting talents. The International Accounting Standards Committee (IASC) stipulates that all countries in the world must gradually adopt international accounting standards to prepare financial statements. In February, 2006, the Ministry of Finance of China issued a new accounting standard for business enterprises, which fully reflected the integration with international accounting standards, and stipulated that it would be first implemented in listed companies in China on+10/day in 2007, and then extended to large and medium-sized enterprises nationwide by the end of 2008. The implementation of the new accounting standards marks that China's enterprise accounting system is officially in line with international standards.
Facing the advance of economic globalization and the implementation of international accounting standards, updating knowledge and optimizing knowledge structure have become an urgent task for Chinese accountants. To this end, we introduce the International Financial Accountant Professional Qualification Examination and Certification Project implemented by IFA into China, and strive to create high-level financial management talents who are familiar with international accounting knowledge, master international accounting standards, and master modern enterprise financial strategic planning and international operation. Since its inception in 2004, the training and certification course has trained and certified more than 2,000 students and members in China, 80% of whom are from well-known large companies in many fields at home and abroad, and are deeply concerned and favored by financial managers from all walks of life.
