FACPCE

What FACPCE does

FACPCE is a private, non-profit professional federation headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that coordinates and represents 24 provincial Consejos Profesionales de Ciencias Económicas covering all of Argentina's provinces. It serves the country's community of public accountants (Contadores Públicos), economists, licenciados en administración, and other economic science professionals, delivering professional registration oversight, continuing education credits via its SFAP system, anti-money laundering and ethics training, and advocacy before tax and regulatory authorities. The federation issues the official Resoluciones Técnicas (RT) — including RT 37 (modified by RT 53) on inflation adjustment and RT 54 — that govern Argentine accounting, auditing, and professional ethics standards, and it represents Argentina within international standard-setting bodies such as IFAC, AIC, and GLENIF.

Its core technology stack is a portfolio of interconnected digital services rather than a single product: the Biblioteca Virtual (a 16-area document library), the SFAP training platform with credit recognition, Normasweb (Argentine and IFRS/NIIF standards), the e-FACPCE electronic services platform, and the monthly Índices FACPCE publication tied to INDEC inflation data. Technical research and standards development is organized through four dedicated centers — CECyT, CENECO, CENADMIN, and CENCYA — covering scientific/technical studies, economics, administration (including blockchain and AI), and accounting/auditing standards respectively. The organization is governed collectively by the 24 member councils with a rotating two-year presidency, currently held by José Simonella, and employs 57 staff.

FACPCE's revenue model is membership- and service-funded rather than commercial: the 24 provincial councils provide contributions, with supplemental revenue from professional training, IFRS subscription services (Suscripción NIIF Online), institutional events, and social services (Fondo Solidario). It has no publicly disclosed financials, no commercial product pricing, and no app, API, or SDK surface. Its distribution model is entirely institutional, delivered through the 24 provincial consejos rather than direct sales.

Regional players

• Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA): ACCA is a global accountancy body offering qualifications, CPD, and standards interpretation across 180+ countries. Comparable to FACPCE in delivering professional credentials and continuing education to finance professionals, though with a global rather than single-country mandate.
• CPA Australia: CPA Australia is one of the world's largest accounting bodies, providing designations, continuing professional development, and policy advocacy in Australia and Asia-Pacific. Matches FACPCE's professional federation model (designation + CPE + advocacy) across a different geography.
• American Institute of CPAs (AICPA): AICPA is the U.S. national professional accounting body that sets standards, provides CPE, and represents CPAs in the United States. Comparable to FACPCE as a national federation issuing technical standards and continuing education, but serving a different geography with much larger scale.
• Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW): ICAEW is a UK chartered accountancy body that issues technical standards, delivers professional qualifications and CPE, and represents members. Operates the same federation function as FACPCE (standards setting, member regulation, training) but at UK scale.
• Colegio de Contadores de Chile: The professional accounting body in Chile that issues local standards and CPE. Comparable to FACPCE as a national federation for accountants in a neighboring South American market, though smaller in scope than FACPCE's 24-council structure.
• Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA): CIMA is the world's largest professional body of management accountants, offering qualifications, CPD, and thought leadership with global reach. Mirrors FACPCE's blend of standards-adjacent thought leadership (CENADMIN on management topics) and continuous professional education.

Direct peers

• Asociación Interamericana de Contabilidad (AIC): AIC is the Inter-American accounting association that FACPCE co-hosts events with and meets jointly under FACPCE's headquarters. Both organizations coordinate accounting standards setting and professional development across the Americas, making AIC the most directly comparable peer in scope and mission.
• Grupo Latinoamericano de Emisores de Normas de Información Financiera (GLENIF): GLENIF is the Latin American group of IFRS standard-setters that FACPCE hosted for the VI Congreso GLENIF-FACPCE 2026 in Buenos Aires. Both organizations coordinate regional responses to IASB and produce technical positions on IFRS adoption, making GLENIF a direct structural peer in the standards-setting ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• International Federation of Accountants (IFAC): IFAC is the global federation of the accounting profession with 157 members in 123 countries representing over 2.5 million accountants. FACPCE participates as a member in Board Meetings, Council, CEO Forum, and Monitoring Group sessions, operating in the same organizational category at a global scale.

Others

• Instituto de Auditores Internos de Argentina (IAIA): The Argentine Institute of Internal Auditors, with which FACPCE signed a cooperation agenda in June 2026. Operates in an adjacent area of the profession (internal audit) within the same Argentine market, sharing regulatory and standards concerns with FACPCE.
