5 PURPOSE To facilitate international reciprocity for professional accountants by recognizing accounting credentials issued by the accounting professions of other countries; One who has proven competence in one jurisdiction should be capable of licensing in another
6 How is reciprocity defined? MRAs are only negotiated where similar provisions will be granted by both sides. MRAs pertain only to those accountants who are entitled to issue reports upon financial statements.
7 Benefits of Recognition Increases market access for professional service providers Facilitates mutual learning Elevates professional standards Helps economies to exchange regulatory experiences Improves quality and uniformity of domestic regulatory measures
8 What MRAs are in place? U.S. IQAB has effected MRAs with the following: Under GATS: The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia The Certified Practicing Accountants of Australia The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland Under NAFTA: (tripartite agreement renewed April 17, 2008) The Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants The Instituto Mexicano de Contadores Publicos

12 When appraising an applicant country s examination process, U S IQAB takes into account the body of knowledge required of accountants of other countries.
