Edinburgh Group Survey and Research: request from the Committee for Capacity Building Members in Practice (CCBMP), ICAI

The Edinburgh Group is a coalition of 16 accountancy bodies from across the world, representing over 900,000 professional accountants in countries from Africa, North America, Asia, Australia, Europe and Latin America. Formed in 2000, the mission of the Edinburgh Group is to ensure that the development of the international accountancy profession meets the needs of its diverse stakeholders, reflecting progress in the global economy and society at large. To do this, the Edinburgh Group champions the interests of SMEs/SMPs, professional accountants in business and developing nations in particular within IFAC (International Federation of Accountants).

The Edinburgh Group launched The SMP Of The Future In A Changing World survey. The purpose of aforesaid study is to inform SMPs, as well as Professional Accountancy Organizations (PAOs) and other organizations that support SMPs across the globe, on how to best adapt to, and capitalize on,a constantly evolving world. The aforesaid survey explores the challenges and opportunities associated with, among other things, digital technologies, regulation/deregulation and evolving client expectations regarding the services their SMP should provide.

The research report (SMP of the Future in a Changing World) will be heavily dependent on the responses to the Edinburgh Group SMP Survey, so we encourage response of your goodself as early as possible.
