ICAB, CA ANZ sign MoU
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) and Chartered Accountants Australia & New Zealand (CA ANZ) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Wednesday at a virtual platform.
Under this MoU, both the Institutes will recognise their members based on pathway program and practical experience, said a press release.

On the other hand, CA ANZ members can also be members of ICAB subject to having Bangladeshi citizenship and other requirements as prescribed by ICAB bylaws.
ICAB President Mahmudul Hasan Khusru said, under this MOU the relationship between the two renowned Institutes will open a new horizon, wider network, foster mutual collaboration, enhancing professional expertise, add value to the members and the nation as a whole.
President-CAANZ Dr Nivos Botica Rodmayno said this initiative will solid our partnership by providing mutual benefits.
She said CA professionals are difference makers and we shall be able to make a difference in terms of education, sharing learning and members' benefits in future.
