Abstract
The Fédération des Experts Comptables Européens (FEE) is the representative organisation for the accountancy profession in Europe. It groups together 38 professional bodies from 26 countries, including all 15 Member States of the European Union and the 3 main member countries of EFTA. Between them, these bodies have a combined membership of 400.000 individuals, of whom approximately 95% are from EU countries. Roughly 45% of the accountants represented in FEE work in public practice, providing a wide range of services to clients. The other 55% work in various capacities in industry, commerce, government and education. FEE also co-operates with the professional organisations of Central and Eastern Europe, some of whom are already observer members of FEE.
