The Egyptian Financial Regulatory Authority issued Decision No. 23 of 2009 to amend the registration, continuation, and expulsion conditions for accountants in its official register. The decision replaces the previous criminal record provision with a requirement for applicants to submit documentation confirming no final criminal convictions against them. It additionally mandates that non-government accountants be registered with the Central Agency for Accounting and explicitly expands disciplinary grounds to include the submission of incomplete or false data to the Authority or its Quality Control Unit.
