For Networks & Associations
Your organisation.
Accurately represented.
GAF is the authoritative directory of global accounting networks and associations. We welcome direct participation — from basic profile verification to full data partnerships — to ensure your organisation is represented accurately and completely.
Why participate
Accurate data benefits the entire profession.
GAF profiles are referenced by businesses seeking accounting representation, by journalists covering the profession, and by researchers studying the global accounting landscape. An accurate profile ensures your organisation's scale, reach and services are correctly understood.
Participation is always voluntary. Standard profiles are built from public data regardless of participation. Enhanced participation gives your organisation direct editorial access and the ability to shape how your data is presented.
Participation
Two ways to
work with GAF.

How it works
From listing to
verified profile.
The process is straightforward. GAF does the initial work — you review, verify, and optionally enrich. Our editorial team handles the rest.
Initial listing
GAF researchers build your standard profile from public sources. You are notified and invited to review.
Data submission
GAF Data Partner Program participants submit structured data via our secure intake form. All fields are optional — provide what you can.
Editorial verification
Our team cross-references submitted data against independent sources before publication.
Profile goes live
Verified data is published to your profile and reflected in rankings within one business week.
Ongoing review
You can submit corrections or updates at any time. GAF conducts structured data reviews annually.
Data integrity
Your data.
Independently verified.
GAF applies the same verification standards to all profiles regardless of participation level. GAF Data Partner Program participants benefit from a direct real-time audit relationship — meaning discrepancies are flagged to you before publication, not after.
Credentials audit
We verify your founding date, headquarters, governance structure and membership criteria against public records and regulatory filings.
Metric verification
Member firm counts, country coverage and revenue figures are cross-referenced against your own published materials, member directories and third-party sources.
Annual data review
GAF Data Partner Program participants receive a structured annual review that confirms data accuracy and the delivery of agreed specific KPI metrics before each review cycle.
Correction process
Any organisation can flag a data error at any time. Corrections are reviewed by our editorial team and actioned within five business days.
