MOSAIC – Improving cooperation and collaboration between the accountancy profession and development partners
In November 2011, the global accountancy profession and development partners came together to sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU). Titled MOSAIC (Memorandum of Understanding to Strengthen Accountancy and Improve Collaboration), this key initiative was led by IFAC, representing the accountancy profession, and the World Bank as the leading development partner.
The MoU, originally initiated between IFAC’s Professional Accountancy Organization Development Committee (PAODC) and development partners, has been drafted at a high level and is intended to serve as a platform for future cooperation and strategic alignment between the accountancy profession and development partner community.
CAPA was present to witness the signing ceremony which took place in Busan, Korea, during the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness; read this article for further details.
