The Association of International Certified Professional Accountants is committed to equity: Our Statement
As a global professional organization, with members of a
profession committed to the public interest, we must demonstrate a
deep commitment to true diversity and inclusion. The most pressing
societal issue we must address is the systemic, structural racism that
has caused such anguish and frustration in the Black community. We are
encouraged to see many people of all colors speaking up and protesting
against injustice and the senseless killing of George Floyd and many
before him. We acknowledge the impact of racial oppression on
communities around the world and are deeply concerned to see some
peaceful protests overshadowed by violence. As leaders, we recognize
that we must advocate against racism and act to build a more equitable
society. We offer our support and compassion to minority and
disadvantaged ethnic communities around the world.
