Turkmenistan’s Best Accountants Lauded

In a June 19th ceremony, the Union of Accountants of Turkmenistan recognized the best trainers and accountants of the past year. The union is the country’s first independent, professional accounting association. Through this organization, USAID’s Enterprise Development Project (EDP) promotes the adoption of International Accounting Standards, trains accounting practitioners, and supports the overall development of an accounting profession.

Over the past three years, the union and other organizations have delivered over 70 training courses for more than 1,300 participants, 72% of which have been women. To date, 74 accountants in Turkmenistan have attained Certified Accounting Practitioner (CAP) status through the CIPA-EN program. For a second year in a row, the “Best of the Year” event has been funded by a private company, Syscon, signaling that Turkmenistan’s private sector places an increasing value on USAID’s accounting program, one of EDP’s composite elements.
