system,” saying Dr Jamaluddin AhmedFCA, President, ICAB while presentingpaper on “Perspective plan and theResource Mobilization Strategy of theGovernment of Bangladesh” in theTechnical Session-I of the InternationalConference of Chartered Accountants 2010.Dr. Jamal said that accountants help tocollect revenue for government, valuationtax.

The other areas aredirectors, corporate tax and the reductionof the source. It is other important area

where authority collects tax. In these areasaccountants can help to collect money forgovernment.

In Technical Session-II Mr. Baree exposedthat the government should step upmeasures to enhance the tax collectionsystem. Speakers at the conference alsostressed the need to better the tax-GDPratio of the country. “Although the country’s tax-GDP ratio isgradually increasing, still it is lowestamong the South Asian countries, said MA Baree FCA, former president of ICAB. “One of the main reasons behind such alow ratio is that our government providestax exemption facilities to many sectors.For example, the transport sector accountsfor more that 11 percent of our GDP, butcontributes only 1 per cent to the GDP,” hesaid.

“So it’s time for the government to takeserious measures, such as improving thetax collection system and make it morepragmatic to increase the ratio”.Baree was speaking on the topic “ValueAdded Tax in Bangladesh: An EffectiveWay of Internal Resource Mobilization”.Also many taxable areas enjoy exemptions,he said, citing example of tax break inincome tax, zero rate and other specialexemptions for imports and truncated basefor VAT. He suggested the government takeseparate strategies for different revenueresources, including income tax, VAT andimport duty. “VAT is an important revenue source forthe government. So the collection target

must be made on the basis of the potentialin each sector instead of setting a typicaltarget comparing with the previous year,”said Mr. Baree. He called upon the government to limit theStatutory Regulatory Orders (SRO),notices and circulars to a manageable level.The National Board of Revenue shouldtake services from the charteredaccountants to cope with the skill dearth atthe board, said Mr. Baree. He also stressed revising the VATregulations and making those usersfriendlier to increase tax collection.Mr. Zahir Uddin Ahmed FCA, formerPresident of ICAB moderated the session.

(IFAC), the global organization for the accountancy profession,welcomes the announcement by the International FinancialReporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation of the membership of thenewly created SME Implementation Group (SME IG). IFAC ispleased to note the appointment to the SME IG of two of itsnominees¬Robin Jarvis and Ricardo Rodil.The group’s mission is to support the adoption and implementationof the IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities (IFRS for SMEs)around the world. As such, it will develop non-mandatory guidancefor implementing the IFRS for SMEs in the form of questions andanswers that will be made publicly available on a timely basis andmake recommendations to the International Accounting StandardsBoard if and when needed regarding amendments to the IFRS forSMEs. The members of the group will serve a renewable term oftwo years from July 2010. The full list of members is availablehere.“We are gratified that two of our nominees were selected to join theSME IG,” said Ian Ball, CEO of IFAC. “Both small- and medium-sized practices (SMPs) and SMEs are vital parts of the globaleconomy. IFAC provides support to SMPs, in collaboration withour member bodies, so that they can provide high-quality servicesto their SME clients. We also support professional accountants inbusiness, many of whom work in SMEs and will use the IFRS forSMEs. Providing input into international standard-setting¬including auditing and assurance, ethics, and accountingstandards¬to help ensure that they are relevant to SMPs and SMEsis a key part of our work. Robin and Ricardo will help the SME IGfulfill its mandate by bringing invaluable insights from theirprofessional experience, along with that drawn from theirexperience with IFAC’s Small and Medium Practices Committee.” IAESB Releases 2010 Handbook of InternationalEducation PronouncementsThe International Accounting Education Standards Board (IAESB)has released the 2010 edition of its Handbook of InternationalEducation Pronouncements. The 2010 Education Handbookcontains the IAESB’s suite of eight International EducationStandards (IESs), including the Framework for InternationalEducation Standards for Professional Accountants (theFramework), as well as three International Education PracticeStatements.The handbook has been updated to include the new Frameworkdocument, a revised glossary that includes new terms from theFramework, and minor editorial corrections. The new Framework,which uses a more concise and simplified structure so that first-time readers can readily understand the content, sets out theunderlying educational concepts that the IAESB uses in itspublications. These concepts will promote greater consistency inIAESB publications and help make the standard-setting processmore efficient and effective. The new Framework replaces the

previously existing Framework for International EducationPronouncements and the Introduction to the InternationalEducation Standards documents, which were published in October2003. Translations of Clarified ISAs Approved in severalEuropean languagesThe Directorate General Translations (DGT) of the EuropeanCommission (EC) has approved for publishing the translation of theInternational Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB)Clarity Standards in the following six official European Unionlanguages: Finnish, Lithuanian, Romanian, Slovakian, Slovenian,and Swedish. The DGT is currently reviewing translations of thestandards in an additional 14 languages. The translations include all36 of the IAASB’s clarified International Standards on Auditing(ISAs) and the International Standard on Quality Control (ISQC 1)as approved in February 2009. These translations are a vital part ofthe EC’s ongoing consideration of the adoption of the IAASBClarity Standards throughout the European Union.Ethics Code Translations underwaySince the release of the revised Code of Ethics for ProfessionalAccountants (the Code) in July 2009, IFAC has received formalpermission requests and proposals for translation of the Code into23 languages. The majority of these languages are European, butthey also include other official languages of the United Nations(UN), such as Arabic and Chinese. Member bodies and other stakeholders in the accounting professionare encouraged to translate the pronouncements published by IFACin order to make them more widely accessible to members of theprofession in their native languages. Increasing the accessibility ofthe pronouncements through translations is a priority for IFAC inpromoting their adoption and implementation. Russian is the onlyofficial UN language for which a translation of the Code is notcurrently being performed. A Russian translation proposal wouldbe welcome by IFAC to fill this gap.Open Consultations and Exposure drafts IFAC Consults:Changing Roles and Employer Expectations ofProfessional Accountants in BusinessThe Professional Accountants in Business (PAIB) Committee ofIFAC recently released for comment the Consultation Paper,Competent and Versatile: How Professional Accountants inBusiness Drive Sustainable Organizational Success, that highlightshow employer expectations of professional accountants in businessare expected to change in light of global trends and evolvingorganizational needs.The paper analyzes these expectations in relation to eight drivers ofsustainable organizational success what companies need to do toachieve and sustain success in the changing global economiclandscape.
