It is also a statutory supervisor under the Money Laundering Regulations. The IAB is truly international, with members in approximately 60 countries. The IAB is known for its practical and professional qualifications in bookkeeping, accounting and payroll, both manual and computerised, with several granted exemptions by the UK chartered accountancy bodies – opening up complete progression routes to a range of financial careers including Registered Bookkeeper, Chartered Accountant and Payroll Professional.
