The American Institute of CPAs has broadened its relationship with Instituto Nacional de Contadores Públicos, Colombia’s largest member organization representing public accountants, as the South American nation prepares for its move toward a single set of high quality international accounting standards. Globalization has created new challenges and opportunities for business, and knowledge of internationally recognized standards has become a key competency for accountants. Like many nations, Colombia has made a commitment to converge its accounting regulations with International Financial Reporting Standards, a set of standards mandated for use in more than 100 countries. Public companies in Colombia will be required to use IFRS next year, while most small- and medium-sized businesses must adopt the standards by 2016. TGS Global Accountancy Network held its third annual conference on Nov. 13 and 14, 2014, where Gettry Marcus served as the host to 40 delegates representing 20 accounting firms from over 17 countries.
