In addition to the above, IFAC Members influence the operations, strategy, leadership, and membership of IFAC by voting on many different matters during all IFAC Council meetings.

IFAC also has Affiliates, organizations that do not meet Associate admission criteria but are involved in the development of the accountancy profession.
IFAC works with Recognized Regional Organizations and Acknowledged Accountancy Groupings, independent bodies that support the development of the international accountancy profession, facilitate convergence to international standards, and provide leadership in addressing issues affecting the accountancy profession in their region and/or among their constituencies. Regional Organizations support IFAC Members, Associates, and the profession within a geographic region; Accountancy Groupings bring together professional accountancy organizations with specific commonalities, such as language, culture, proximity, trade, etc.
