Bahamian forensic accountant John Bain has been invited to participate in a defining webinar hosted by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).

The webinar, which is taking place tomorrow, is being conducted to develop the organisation’s integrated report as part of a pilot programme initiated by the International Integrated Reporting Committee (IIRC).

Bain, the first Bahamian elected to the ACCA’s International Assembly, has been selected as an integral member of a small group of ACCA International Assembly representatives invited to participate in the webinar.

The webinar is organized to outline the issues of greatest importance to the ACCA’s 140,000 members in 170 countries.
