Professional Accountancy Organisations (PAOs) operate in an increasingly complex and fast-evolving environment. From technological disruption and shifting member expectations to heightened public interest responsibilities, the pace of change continues to accelerate.

The newly launched Professional Accountancy Organisation Success & Sustainability supplementary paper, developed by Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants (CAPA) and endorsed by International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), provides practical thought leadership to help PAOs navigate this landscape with confidence.

Complementing CAPA’s Maturity Model^TM, the publication introduces a user-friendly framework built around eight key success and sustainability factors — covering the Basics, Difference Makers, and Non-Negotiables of organisational resilience.

Designed to support strategic planning and risk discussions, the paper encourages deeper reflection, constructive dialogue, and proactive leadership within PAOs of all sizes.

Strong and sustainable PAOs are essential to advancing professional excellence and maintaining public trust. This publication serves as a timely resource to help ensure the long-term vitality and relevance of the accountancy profession.
