The Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants (CAPA) represents national professional accounting organisations in the Asia-Pacific region.
Today, CAPA has a membership of 32 accounting organisations in 23 jurisdictions. CAPA is by far the largest regional accounting organisation and its geographical area spans half the globe!
The idea of CAPA was conceived at the First Far East Conference of Accountants that was held from 28 November to 1 December 1957 in Manila, Philippines. However, it was only in 1976 that the 'Confederation of Asian and Pacific Accountants' was formally established.
CAPA's mission is to provide leadership in the development, enhancement, and coordination of the accountancy profession in the Asia-Pacific region to enable the profession to provide services of consistently high quality in the public interest.
