Accounting Certification in the Russian Language

Chapter 26 in Accounting Reform in Transition and Developing Economies, 2008, pp 391-402 from Springer

Abstract: The 15 former Soviet republics (CIS) all have their own national accounting and auditing certifications. They have been evolving in different directions since the break up of the Soviet Union. But they have at least one thing in common — their certifications are not held in high regard beyond their borders, and perhaps even within their own borders. Several internationally recognized certification bodies have tried to fill the market need by offering their exams within the borders of the CIS, but these attempts have been only partially successful. Because these international certification exams are offered only in the English language, the majority of accountants in the CIS are not able to take advantage of these exams. Until recently, non-English speaking accountants within the CIS had no alternatives other than their national exams, which were not held in high regard even within their borders.
