ICAB, ICMAB join hands to strengthen accounting profession

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB) and the Institute of Cost and Management Accountants of Bangladesh (ICMAB) have signed a Joint Collaboration Framework (JCF) to strengthen cooperation and advance the accounting profession.
The framework was signed at the ICAB Council Hall in Dhaka on Wednesday, according to a press release. It covers professional development, joint research and publications, professional events, policy advocacy and international engagement.
A Joint Coordination Committee, with equal representation from both institutes, will oversee implementation and meet at least four times a year.
ICAB President Sabbir Ahmed FCA said closer cooperation would create a stronger voice on national policy and professional issues. ICMAB President Kausar Alam FCMA said the two organisations would work together at the policy level to strengthen the profession.
The JCF is part of ICAB’s Reform Strategy 2025-30.
