Background
AGN is a worldwide association of separate and independent accounting and consulting firms. Each member of AGN operates under its own local or national name; however, unlike many other similar organisations, the members remain autonomous. The individual members are all well recognised firms of excellent standing in their own countries and many rank in the top 15 firms within their own local accounting profession. AGN is structured on a regional basis – actions and technical knowledge is addressed to local needs but with global reach.
History
The Association was formed on 1st January 1996 as a consolidation of two precedent accounting associations which between them had a total of some forty years experience.
Objectives
The Mission Statement adopted states that the overall objective of the Association is
“To provide the highest level of information and professional services for members and their clients worldwide"
Membership in AGN provides access to a worldwide professional association, composed of firms able to provide expert technical knowledge. Clients who, therefore, require professional services in another country will be well served.
PCAOB
