Statute overview

About this statute

This article says the law creates ICPAR and sets out its powers, organization, functioning, and the regulation of the accountancy profession in Rwanda. This article defines key accounting and audit terms used in the law. Accounting and auditing in Rwanda must follow the standards set by the Rwanda professional accountants body; state organs use IPSAS, private-sector accounting uses IFRS, and auditing follows ISA established by IFAC. Every accountant in Rwanda must act with integrity, avoid discrediting the profession, and follow the code of conduct and ethics. The organization’s head office is in Kigali, and it may move elsewhere in Rwanda if needed. It may also set up branches in Rwanda and representatives abroad.
