INPACT News

We're proud to announce that the International Accounting Bulletin (IAB), a magazine that revolves around accounting news, has nominated INPACT for the “Rising Star Association” and “Association of the Year” awards. Receiving this recognition from IAB is an honour, and we are expecting this prestige to help the INPACT members firms gain ground in their respective endeavours.

While in Mauritius for the 3^rd Africa Congress of Accountants in mid-May, Tendai White scheduled a visit to see INPACT’s member firm in Cybercity, a booming economic centre of the country. Chiltern Group graciously accepted her drop-in and offered her a complete look at the firm’s day-to-day activities and its facilities.

In the month of May, the island of Mauritius, hosted the 3^rd Africa Congress of Accountants, which aimed to bring together all the greatest minds in the accounting world together in one place.

Because INPACT always wants to find new ways to support and recognise our member firms, we are pleased to announce that Ceausescu & Partners is the two-time winner of Acquisition International Magazine’s M&A award for the leading accountancy firm of the year in Romania.

In 2010, Andreea Ceausescu decided to take a risk, break off from an accounting company with an international network affiliation, and start her own full-service firm in Romania. Though the firm had small beginnings, Ceausescu knew how to connect her firm to the international accounting community and immediately sought out INPACT membership, proving that it was more than capable of managing international clients.

Now, five years later, Ceausescu & Partners has won numerous awards and is a two-time winner of Acquisition International Magazine’s “Auditor of the Year in Romania” award.

The INPACT International Tax Committee (ITC) are delighted to announce their newest Committee member, Maria Regina Branco from NK Assessoria Contábil e Fiscal Ltda who only recently joined INPACT as a member firm.

Branco was formally accepted onto the ITC on 24 April.

The results from the IAB World Survey are in, and INPACT again ranks among the top 20 accounting alliances in the world. Where many networks and associations went into decline and lost hard-earned growth, INPACT’s success continues, and the IAB World Survey took notice.

At the beginning of the year, INPACT decided to dedicate its efforts to spreading the organisation even further on a global scale, and the success in that arena could not be better expressed than with INPACT’s recent expansion in Egypt, Honduras, and Slovakia as three new firms join our ranks!

NK, a Brazilian firm centred around domestic and international accounting, audit, advisory and taxes, recently joined the ranks of INPACT’s member firms, becoming the 10th Latin American firm. As a firm that has become firmly invested in Japanese culture and businesses since its founding in 1977, the partners at NK immediately saw the INPACT organisation as an opportunity to further expand their business’ international opportunities.

At the most recent worldwide INPACT conference in Washington D.C., Lena Fiedler was appointed as the newest INPACT president and is taking on the responsibilities of Stephen Jacobs, who has faithfully and competently served as the INPACT president since 2011.

From the beginning, joining INPACT came as more of a necessity for RSW Accountants & Tax Advisors than a luxury after the firm’s biggest client mentioned that they wanted to start doing business abroad. ‘Can you still be my accountants?’ the client had asked. Though the firm immediately told the client yes, they would still be able to serve the business, RSW Accountants & Tax Advisors had never done international accounting work before.

Though INPACT members firms have always been good at offering referrals to each other and providing help where and when it is needed within the organisation, many firms also actively participate in charity work for the community.
