Our Global CEO Malcolm Ward reports to an International Board, elected by AGN’s members. Our International Board comprises of senior professionals from member firms in all of our three regions, ensuring that the benefit of their extensive experience and diversity of background is brought to bear.
The International Board is supported by a non-executive adviser, and a Shadow Board composed of “NextGen” members representing the main global geographies, increasing diversity of inputs and thinking.
Our three regions also have member-elected boards who work within one global brand and strategy to ensure that AGN services are embedded at a regional level, and developed to be relevant and valuable to the local membership.
With around 30 years of experience in a range of senior management and leadership roles in the accounting industry, Malcolm leads a team including other qualified CPA staff, dedicated to building value for AGN members and their clients, with a focus on service and standards.

Powering up Europe’s single market with vibrant firms in the Middle East and Africa makes sense for all firms. While the markets in this region vary greatly, its purpose is to provide excellent business services from the Cape of Good Hope to Norway. This region provides specific programming in services for real estate, construction and financial services, alongside expert knowledge on issues such as IFRS and VAT. Specialized committees keep the region dynamic and ensure members have expert knowledge.
Local experience can be mission-critical when it comes to business ventures. Count on this region to deliver specialist forensic accounting services in the UAE, advisory and risk management in Kuwait and tax advisory services in Nigeria, as well as a full suite of services throughout Europe.
