The notion of establishing ASCA was proposed by a group of elite Arab accountants which aims at advancing the profession of accounting, auditing and other related disciplines in the countries of the Arab League. ASCA also aims at maintaining the professional independence of Arab accountants and their protection, as well as the application of professional supervisory measures as a way to elevate the professions of accounting and auditing. It also aims at developing and facilitating the continuous spread and exchange of professional and technical information among accountants by holding conferences, meetings, seminars, training courses and academic gatherings as well as promoting scientific and professional research.
