Expatries Network
Application to join

Become the Expatries Network partner in your country

Expatries Network deliberately lists only a small number of firms per country. This page shows you, country by country, the seats still available and the documents you will be asked for.

Read before applying

Three rules, stated plainly

01

Three partners per country

The network lists only three firms per country. Once the three seats are taken, incoming applications join the waiting list and are reviewed as a priority as soon as a seat is freed.

02

No minimum turnover

No turnover threshold and no minimum headcount are required. A two-person firm soundly established in its country has its full place in the network.

03

Applying does not guarantee acceptance

Filing an application, even a complete one, does not amount to admission. The review covers the documents, local presence and fit with the network's needs; the decision remains discretionary.

You do not attach any document to this form. Supporting documents are uploaded afterwards, in your partner area, once your account has been created.

Step 1

Choose the country where your firm is established

The seat availability and the list of required documents appear immediately.

3 seat(s) still available out of 3. You can file your application now.

Documents required in this country

These documents are not attached here. You will upload them in your area, after your account is created.

Regulated profession

In this country, running payroll on behalf of third parties is not reserved to a regulated profession.

Local title or status : Chartered Accountant (ACA / FCA) — titre protégé

Professional body or authority : Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka), institut statutaire (loi n° 23 de 1959)

https://www.casrilanka.com/

Le titre de Chartered Accountant et l'audit légal sont réservés aux membres de CA Sri Lanka détenant un certificat d'exercice. En revanche, la tenue de comptabilité et la paie externalisée ne sont pas des activités réservées : n'importe quelle société immatriculée peut les proposer. Pour le réseau, l'appartenance à CA Sri Lanka, AAT Sri Lanka ou CMA Sri Lanka doit donc servir de critère de sélection, non de simple case à cocher réglementaire.
