The cabinet of the Syrian Arab Republic agreed on a memorandum of cooperation between the qualifying training accounting studies department in the Faculty of Economics/Damascus University and the Arab Society for Certified Accountants (ASCA). Under this memo the Damascus University, one of the oldest Arab universities, will be the seventeenth center of the Arab Certified Public Accountant (ACPA) examination spread throughout the Arab world.
ASCA’s President, Mr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, expressed his pride and welcomed the signing and the approval of the memo from the Syrian government. He stressed that this achievement is considered a great leap in the history of ASCA, because it comes from Damascus and its historical university which had graduated hundreds of thousands of Syrians and Arabs.
Mr. Abu-Ghazaleh declared that the signing of this memo confirms the confidence of the University’s presidency and teaching staff of the Faculty of Economics in ASCA’s importance because it opens many doors for accounting Syrian graduates to develop and renew their scientific and practical qualifications and it also offers them many job opportunities in various Arab countries.
Mr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh also announced that the number of Arab students enrolled in ASCA to obtain the ACPA certificate has reached over two thousand students. He added that ASCA has signed similar agreements with universities throughout the Arab world to highly qualify the largest possible number of Arab accountants.
