The Institute of Public Accountants (IPA) will engage in the Fiji Institute of Chartered Accountants’ (FICA) Congress to talk about the power of developing diversified export strategies to strengthen the Fijian economy.
The event is scheduled for June 24, at the Shangri-La Hotel, Cuvu.
The theme is “Fiji’s Tomorrow Today”.
FICA congress will focus on how to improve Fiji’s economic independence through the development of diversified export strategies for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).
The IPA’s key speaker, group executive advocacy and policy, Vicki Stylianou, said to build an economically independent and resilient Fiji, it’s essential to internationalise and develop a diversified export strategy that builds on the strengths of MSMEs.
“For Fiji the value of imports outweighs the value of exports,” she said.
“The decision we make today to change this will shape tomorrow for years to come.”
Australia is Fiji’s second largest export destination, trading almost $100m in gold, sugar, water and textiles each year.
Ms Stylianou will encourage the congress to empower small to medium enterprises to overcome the many barries for exporting to promote Fiji Tomorrow Today.
The IPA has a strong relationship with FICA.
