A leading global accountancy body and a major Central Asian industrial enterprise have signed a deal to increase the company’s financial professionalism.

ACCA and Uzbekistan Almalyk Mining and Metallurgical Complex (AGMK) will work together to support AGMK’s financial competency development roadmap.

The MoU paves the way to build a structural professional development pathway for finance specialists within the state-owned enterprise (SOE). Development programmes will support the systematic upskilling of AGMK’s finance staff in line with international financial reporting, accounting and auditing standards. These will include learning and development initiatives such as competencies, skills and training mapping.

Zhanna Iskenova, Head of ACCA Central Asia, said: ‘The MoU represent an important step in strengthening ACCA’s collaboration with government and major employers in Uzbekistan, and position ACCA as a long-term partner in developing finance talent in the country.’

Bekhzod Mamatov, Chief Finance and transformation officer, AGMK, said: ‘We look forward to working with ACCA gaining access to its professional development and learning resources and designing an employer-supported learning approach. In particular we will work to leverage each other’s professional networks to support knowledge-sharing, learning culture, and awareness of international good practice in finance and accounting.’

The collaboration will specifically explore engagement with ACCA Learning Partners to deliver high-quality training aligned with the company’s long-term capability development strategy. Signed in March 2026 the MoU will be reviewed in three years.
