New Zealand Māori and Pasifika

Supporting New Zealand Māori and Pasifika in their accounting career

As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting Indigenous communities all over the world, we aim to support New Zealand Māori and Pasifika in pursuing an accounting career. In addition to supporting Indigenous participation in the accounting profession, we also promote financial wellbeing and the value of accounting within Indigenous communities.
