IAPA has appointed Stephen Hamlet as its new chief executive officer replacing Susan Humphry who retired after 11 years in the post.

Previously Hamlet was BKR International EMEA regional executive director.

"My particular focus will be on consolidating membership in key business locations, maximising membership benefits through promotion of the IAPA brand, and the development of an expanding range of practical services to encourage new business generating opportunities for our members," Hamlet said.

In International Accounting Bulletin’s latest world survey, IAPA ranked as the eight largest association reporting $1.2bn in financial year 2014.
