New online portal to global knowledge, resources, and news serves and connects accountants worldwide
The International Federation of Accountants (IFAC) has launched the Global Knowledge Gateway, a new digital hub for the global accountancy profession: www.ifac.org/global-knowledge-gateway. The Gateway serves professional accountants and aspiring accountants in all sectors by providing streamlined access to relevant resources, news, discussions, and thought leadership.

Initially focused on nine topic areas (see box), the Gateway brings together the some of the best globally relevant resources, facilitates knowledge sharing, and creates a community of professional accountants around the world.
Users can filter resources by topic area, subcategory, type of resource, or source. “Recommend” resources that you find the most useful, and suggest new resources to include. Browse topical news as well as the latest general accountancy news. Stay informed about upcoming events and conferences. Read Viewpoints by VIPs in the profession and the wider business world. Participate in Discussions, designed to encourage debate.
You can also subscribe to have new content delivered straight to your inbox—from all Gateway topic areas or only the ones that matter most to you.
