Established in May 2011, PAFA is a not-for-profit organisation that works to strengthen the capacity and influence of the accountancy profession in Africa.
We are recognised as a regional organisation and network partner by the International Federation of Accountants. Our membership comprises 57 professional accountancy organisations in 47 African countries and five international affiliations.
The objective of API is to realise an African public sector capacitated by competent, influential and ethical accountancy professionals who support good finance governance towards realisation of accountability and transparency in the use of public resources.
The Pan African Federation of Accountants (PAFA), a partner in the ATQA, is inviting eligible consulting firms to express their interest in a significant multi-country and multilingual assignment under the Strengthening PAFA and Public Financial Management Resilience in Africa (SPRA) Project.
SPRA is a multinational institutional-support project financed by the African Development Bank through its Transition Support Facility Pillar III and implemented by PAFA. Consistent with Pillar III’s focus on building inclusive, effective and accountable institutions in countries affected by fragility, the Project seeks to strengthen public financial management and support the professionalisation of public-sector accountants and auditors.
The consultancy will support the implementation and sustainable national delivery of the ATQA in Burundi (French), Mozambique (Portuguese), São Tomé and Príncipe (Portuguese) and Somalia (English).
About the Accounting Technician Qualification for Africa (ATQA)
The ATQA materials include the curriculum framework; syllabus; authors, examiners and qualifications registration guidance; and, for each core module, a student textbook, trainer guide, question bank, mock examination and mock examination answers. The qualification currently comprises six core modules and country-level modules that may include Law, Taxation and Public Sector content. The final structure and materials will be those approved through the separate ATQA update.
