The IUAA planned to start a Certified Management Accountant course in 2007.[3]Under the same program, in late 2007 a course on Cost and Management Accounting was delivered to 727 Iraqi students and professional accountants, auditors, businessmen and managers from across Iraq.[4]Also in 2007, the IUAA delivered a course onInternational Accounting Standards andInternational Financial Reporting Standards (IAS/IFRS) to employees of theCentral Bank of Iraq.[5]
In 2010, a letter from the body to various national institutions in Iraq appeared to forbid the international accounting firmErnst & Young from practising in the country. The firm denied that the Union had any regulatory authority. The firm has employees who are members of the Union, but as it currently has no Iraqipartners it is not yet able to certify audit reports.[6]
