Publications
The Pakistan Accountant is the professional flagship publication of the Institute. It is intended to serve as a
forum for disseminating information on auditing and accounting practices, business and finance, and topics
of current national and international interest. 

The Newsletter is designed to provide a heads-up on important Institute events and activities. The Pakistan
Accountant and the Newsletter have received a makeover this past year to boost the Institute’s professional
image, and to serve as a channel for staying in touch with our most valuable assets – our members
and students. Through the Members Information & Education Series (MIES) the Institute hopes to promote
the integration of best practices and sound judgment among members. 

These publications form the body of literature that fosters the Institute’s policy of promoting education and
research.

Networking of Firms

During the recently conducted roundtable meetings on Quality Control Standards at Karachi and Lahore, it
was unanimously agreed that in order to improve quality of training to its students and to enhance quality of
services rendered by SMPs, 'Networking' or 'Pooling of Resources' is the best solution.

Firms interested in adopting this concept are requested to send their names and contact details for
placement on the ICAP website to shoaib.ahmed@icap.org.pk
