National professional accountancy organisations (PAOs) are integral to developing and maintaining a strong and sustainable accountancy profession that serves the public interest and contributes to the growth and stability of economies. Recognising the importance of a PAO, CAPA’s PAO Development Committee developed the “Maturity Model™” to assist PAOs in assessing their organisations’ growth and development goals.
The Maturity Model™ is a support tool that allows PAOs to take a systematic approach to their organisational development, helping them make decisions and carry out their commitment to excellence, easily tracking their progress along the way. It provides a roadmap for organisation growth based on measurement and improvement of practices and processes, irrespective of a PAO’s current stage of development. The Maturity Model’s™ open approach and user-friendly interface present a clear value proposition that is unique on the international PAO development stage, and a level of flexibility that allows PAOs to decide on their own purpose and pace of improvement efforts.
