WHY JOIN IAFEI - FAQs

It may be summarized in a word : networking. IAFEI was founded in 1969 as a non-profit and non-political association.

IAFEI aims at:

• building and improving mutual understanding internationally among financial executives
• providing a basis for international cooperation towards making financial systems and regulations more effective and more uniform worldwide
• promoting ethical considerations in the practice of financial mamangement throughout the world.

IAFEI has grown over the years along these guidelines and to date it includes 18 countries with more than 12,000 financial executives. Taking full advantage of the network calls for playing an active role in the various events, meetings and other programs of the Association.

Aside from the offering a privileged outlook on the situation and trends of the world financial community, IAFEI periodically provide Member Institutes with different materials such as:
