What is the prospect of AIA international accountants in the country?

Definition of international accountants

In a broad sense, international accountants generally refer to accountants who have passed the certification of international accounting certification bodies and understand international accounting standards (IAS) and operating models.

Classified according to legal status, international accountants are divided into practicing and non-practising accountants. Non-practicing certificates can only prove that the owner has outstanding qualifications in a certain aspect, but many legal powers are restricted. Although there are various certificates currently popular on the market, most of them do not have the right to practice. There are only a few certificates that have the right to practice qualifications conferred by law and the right to sign audit reports, such as the British AIA, ACA, and ACCA. , AICPA of the United States.

International accountants in a narrow sense refer specifically to the (Full Member AAIA, Senior Full Member FAIA) certificates issued by the British Association of International Accountants (AIA). Because among all the accounting certifications, only AAIA and FAIA can directly use the exclusive title of "International Accountant" with distinguished status to engage in related work.

China’s certified public accountants are only domestically recognized professional qualifications, and their scope of practice is only domestic and not recognized internationally. The value and employment scope of certificates are obviously not as good as internationally certified certificates. With the integration of the global economy, China's accounting industry is constantly moving closer to the international world, and there is an increasing shortage of professionals who are familiar with international accounting standards and have international accountant certification. , becoming a high-paying white-collar worker favored by enterprises.

In China, the more popular international practicing accountant certificates mainly include AIA issued by the British Association of International Accountants, ACCA issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants, ACA issued by the Institute of Accountants of England and Wales, and AICPA issued by the United States. These certificates are very authoritative, and the career development prospects of certificate holders are obviously much higher than those of ordinary accounting practitioners. Unfortunately, there are no test centers for the American AICPA in China, and candidates must go abroad to Guam in the United States to take the exam.

Employment prospects for international accountants

With the implementation of new domestic accounting standards, the trend of the accounting industry is also changing. International accountants who hold international accounting qualifications and are proficient in new accounting standards are becoming more and more popular. It is becoming more and more popular among enterprises.

It is understood that since my country has been a member of the WTO for many years, according to international practice, if there is an international standard in an industry (such as the accounting industry), WTO member states must try to adopt the standard. When Chinese companies encounter foreign trade disputes, they fail to adopt internationally accepted accounting standards, which also brings trouble to obtaining equal and fair treatment. Therefore, experts believe that it is also a general trend to integrate accounting standards with international standards.

Many Chinese companies are currently actively implementing the "going out" globalization strategy to strengthen national companies and brands. Therefore, it is particularly urgent to recruit international talents, especially in the operation of international capital markets. , financial operations and management in overseas markets and other fields. It is this demand that has led many famous Chinese and foreign companies to extend their olive branches to recruiters. This undoubtedly sends a signal that in the future, as more and more local Chinese companies expand themselves and implement "globalization" strategies, they will urgently need a large number of people who are familiar with international accounting standards, master international capital market practices, and are proficient in modern enterprises. Financial and accounting management talents for strategic planning and international operations.

With the intensification of the internationalization of China’s economy and the combination of “bringing in” and “going out” strategies, the Association of International Accountants (AIA) has received unanimous praise from domestic and foreign financial companies and people in the accounting industry. What students want to know most is about the employment prospects of AIA in China, and how many companies in China recognize AIA international qualifications?

As the world's largest professional accounting organization, AIA trains "all-round" accountants who can add value to enterprises. AIA believes that employee growth is the core element of corporate success. Therefore, it is extremely important for employers to support and motivate them and provide employees with relevant work experience while they study for professional qualifications. Provide development opportunities and career support for professional accountants to create long-term value for economic development.

According to incomplete statistics, among the global Forbes 2000 companies, AIA members are also distributed in a wide range of industries. 60% are engaged in accounting and finance work in various types of companies, and more than 20% are engaged in firms. For professional work, 15% are in financial institutions, and about 5% are distributed in global organizations such as the World Bank, audit agencies, tax authorities, government agencies and non-profit organizations.

With the deepening of globalization, AIA, known as the "passport of the international accounting community", is increasingly recognized in the country. In addition to foreign companies developing in China and Chinese companies pursuing global strategic development, more and more government agencies and state-owned enterprises also favor AIA professional qualifications.

At present, AIA has more than 10,000 members, 48,000 students and nearly 600 recognized employers in China, and has cooperated with dozens of domestic universities to open AIA-oriented classes to jointly cultivate compound talents. High-level financial accounting professionals who are professional and application-oriented.
