Let us summarize it in a word: net-working. IAFEI was founded in 1969 as a private non profit and non political association.
Its aims are:
building and improving mutual understanding internationally among financial executives
providing a basis for international cooperation towards making financial systems and regulations more uniform worldwide
promoting ethical considerations in the practice of financial management throughout the world.
IAFEI has grown over the years along these guidelines and to-date it includes 15 countries for more than 130,000 Financial Executives. Taking full advantage of the network calls for playing an active role in the life of the Association.
We periodically provide member Institutes with different kinds of documentation aimed at:
A) informing about the life of the Association through:
Annual Report, a comprehensive coverage of facts and activities carried out by member institutes;
Electronic Newsletter reporting the latest news from the Association and its Institutes, the updating of appointments, as well as articles of specific interest written by experts of the Association;
Directory (1 per year), the tool enabling to get in touch with all colleagues active in the Association;
reports from various officers and minutes of the meetings.
In addition, the Iafei Secretariat data base (containing names and addresses of the people who have worked for Iafei for the last 15 years and all information relative to international congresses and conferences) is available for consultation.
Furthermore, members can receive, upon request, all kinds of studies, researches and documentation from the other Institutes around the world.
B) offering a privileged outlook on the situation and trends of the world financial community.
More possibilities for companies and individual members’ voices to make themselves heard at international level.
More possibilities of interfacing with international institutions and organizations.
Opportunities for personal growth of the individual members through the participation in the Association’s life (appointments, committees, etc.).
More possibilities within the Institute for developing a real “global” thinking.
Your experience and professional skills by taking active participation in the Association's activities.
Information on your country’s development and point of view on the market.
Cooperation by providing the other Institutes with your studies and publications.
Last, but not least, your contribution to the strategic development of the Association.
