Global Accounting Forum
The world's
accounting
profession.
Mapped.
An independent, AI-powered intelligence platform — the only authoritative source for data, rankings and profiles across every major global accounting network and association.
What is GAF
Every network.
Every association.
One authoritative source.
The global accounting profession spans hundreds of international and national networks, associations and alliances that represent tens of thousands of independent firms — yet until now, no single source brought it all together. Data was fragmented, self-reported and unverified.
GAF changes that. Powered by proprietary AI infrastructure and an independent editorial team, we gather, verify and publish the definitive picture of the global accounting landscape.
Independent
No ranking position is for sale. Editorial and commercial are strictly separated.
Verified
Every data point is cross-referenced against public records before publication.
Comprehensive
Every major global network and association, in one searchable directory.

Built on independence. Powered by data.
GAF's credibility rests on a single principle: no commercial relationship influences our data or rankings. An independent advisory board oversees our methodology, and our editorial and commercial operations are strictly separated.
No pay-to-rank
No network or association can purchase a ranking position. Our methodology is published, transparent and auditable.
AI-powered research
Proprietary infrastructure continuously gathers and cross-references data — then every point is reviewed by a human editor before publication.
Independent oversight
An advisory board drawn from senior leaders across the profession provides genuine governance of our methodology and editorial standards.
Always up to date
Rankings and profiles are updated on a rolling basis. Any organisation can flag a correction at any time.
