  • Academics from universities and other tertiary institutions
  • Professionals from major corporations, business houses, banking, finance and investment bodies
  • Libraries/companies

AFAANZ – Goals

  • To provide education programs and continuing professional development programs for the benefit of both members and non-members.
  • To prescribe, adopt, test and recognise by way of diploma, designation or otherwise standards and classifications of attainment and qualifications in accounting and finance and related disciplines.
  • To promote to the public, whether by way of publication or otherwise, information on accounting and finance and related disciplines and other subjects of interest or value to accountants, finance and related disciplines by lectures, discussions, books, journals and correspondence and other publications with the public and other bodies and individuals or otherwise.
  • To encourage the study of accounting, finance and related disciplines within the general public, and, for that purpose to donate and to encourage the donation, on such terms and conditions as may from time to time be determined or prescribed, of a prize or prizes or other rewards or distinctions.
  • To consider all questions affecting the interests of the accounting, finance and related disciplines and to initiate, promote, watch over, consider and, if necessary to petition any organization, any person or Parliament and to organise deputations in relation to those issues.

The Association's primary publication is the journal Accounting and Finance. The object of the journal is to promote the wide dissemination of the results of research and other scholarly enquiries. Published tri-annually, the journal is available through subscription. A newsletter is also produced tri-annually to further enhance communication with existing members.
