Dear Stakeholders,

We are glad to reach out to you again with updates for January 2023.

While Exposure Draft 1 of INPAG is still open for comments, we have been focused on supporting you to understand the proposals, so that you can share your voice and shape the future, reflecting your context and priorities.

In this month’s newsletter we share resources from our recent webinar series: Seduisant from Cote D’Ivoire said

“Thank you! That was insightful – and great YouTube video, very informative!”

We are delighted to share with you that the ED1 summary has now been published in French, and you can find out about our upcoming consultation events in February – let us know if you would like an invitation to the regional meeting for stakeholders in Africa or Asia.

Recent Webinar Series

For the last couple of months, we have been talking about the International Non-Profit Accounting Guidance – Exposure Draft 1 (INPAG ED1) and this month we held a series of webinars. The resources are now available so that you can:
