The Association of Accountants of the Principality is an association that brings together professionals working in Andorra in the field of accounting. Its founding objectives are to obtain the recognition of the profession, treat the professional interests of accountants in a corporate manner and accept all the proposals of accounting professionals that are consistent, for the benefit of the profession. The association collaborates with entities of international scope and doesn’t have the will to compete with existing associations, but to collaborate and, through agreements, complement and reinforce the tasks of common interest.
