Turkmen Accounting Association Gains Full Council Membership

In early July, the Turkmen Union of Accountants upgraded its status to full membership with the Eurasian Council of Certified Accountants and Auditors (ECCAA). As a result, the Turkmen Union of Accountants now has a right to serve as the ECCAA representative in Turkmenistan and to accredit educational entities that provide training on accounting in that country.

The union is Turkmenistan’s first independent, professional accounting association. Through this organization, USAID’s Enterprise Development Project promoted the adoption of International Accounting Standards, trained accounting practitioners, and supported the overall development of an accounting profession. Over the past three years, the union and other organizations delivered over 70 USAID-supported training courses for more than 1,300 participants.
