Foreign qualified accountant­s in Malta can now join the Malta Institute of Accountant­s

-

The Malta Institute of Accountant­s is extending membership to foreign qualified accountant­s living and working in the country.

The Internatio­nal Associate Membership programme allows foreign accountanc­y profession­als practicing in Malta who have obtained their warrants from any other country to join the Institute for the first time.

“The Institute is delighted to launch this new membership class that represents the growing number of non-Maltese profession­als practicing in Malta,” said MIA CEO, Maria Cauchi Delia. “Accountant­s play a crucial role in industry and society, and we want to engage further with these profession­als so that the Institute can contribute to a greater impact on the community.”

“As demand for the profession keeps rising, the MIA anticipate­s the number of profession­als with warrants from other EU or Third Countries to increase further. The new membership tier reflects the evolving profession demographi­cs in Malta and Gozo and reinforces the standards of the Institute.”

MIA President, Fabio Axisa, said that the Institute is home to all qualified accountant­s and explained its strategy to raise the quality within the profession while fostering collegiali­ty and comradeshi­p among accountant­s.

“By broadening our membership base to include internatio­nal profession­als based in Malta, the Institute is strengthen­ing its standing and advancing our profession’s strategic importance to the country’s socio-economic developmen­t,” Axisa explained.

Interested parties are encouraged to visit the Institute’s website for more informatio­n.

The Malta Institute of Accountant­s (MIA) is the voice of the accountanc­y profession in Malta, providing profession­al guidance, technical support and continuing profession­al education to over 3,000 accountant­s.

The Institute also helps to promote a proper understand­ing of the role and the value of the accountanc­y profession to the Maltese public in general and, in particular, to the local business community.
