Ms. Olivia Kirtley, IFAC President, will be delivering a special address at the forum.

Seventeen local and international renowned speakers will be engaging participants through five (5) sessions, focusing on key issues affecting the SMPs.

Among key speakers include Mr. Giancarlo Attolini, IFAC SMP Chairperson; Ms. Monica Foerster, IFAC SMP Deputy Chair; Mr. Paul Thompson, Director, Global Accountancy Profession Support, IFAC; Mr. Mats Olsson, Member, IFAC SMP Committee; Ms. Robyn Erskine, Member of IFAC SMP Commmittee; Mr. Chiew Chun Wee, Head of Policy Asia Pacific, ACCA; Ms Katharine Bagshaw, Member IFAC SMP Committee and Mr. Sonexay Silpahet, AFA Deputy President among others.
