LCPAA’s strategy
LCPAA still need to reform its institute based on its mission and vision of upgrading and maintaining accountancy profession with trustworthy quality for the public interest. This goal would be achieved through actions in line with international professional standards recognized by the International Federation of Accountants that LCPAA aims to be its member. Therefore, LCPAA establishes an action plan covering professional education and membership monitoring in line with IFAC Statements of Membership Obligations.
The adoption of ACCA qualification as its Lao CPA qualification and the cooperation with established professional accountancy bodies in term of capacity building are means to rapidly facilitate the enhancement of professional quality. LCPAA believes that present professional accountants would be able to accurately practice with ethics and complied with international standards for the public interest.
