New IFACnet knowledge base for accountants in business
03 Oct 2006
The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), in collaboration with 13 member organisations, has developed a web-based knowledge base for professional accountants in business, to be known as IFACnet – www.ifacnet.com.
The objective is "to provide one-stop access to leading-edge articles, good practice guidance, and tools and techniques for accountants employed in commerce, industry, the public sector, education, and the not-for-profit sector". IFACnet will include information on strategy, budgeting and planning, corporate governance, risk management, and professional development. IFACnet includes shared electronic resources from IFAC and the 13 participating organisations. Expansion is planned for 2007. There is no fee to use IFACnet, although certain search results may identify documents or publications available for purchase. Click for Press Release (PDF 92k).
