The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants Pakistan has formally revealed the composition of its highly anticipated Members Network Panel for the 2026 to 2028 operational tenure. The strategic governing body comprises an elite cohort of deeply accomplished finance professionals, corporate executives, and regulatory experts. The shared knowledge and varied industry background of these newly selected officials will direct the trajectory of professional member interaction, regional capacity development, and strategic advocacy initiatives across the country during the upcoming two year administrative term.
Taking the helm of this institutional network, Gulfishan Shaikh has been appointed as the Chair of the panel. Outside her governance responsibilities with the professional accounting community, she serves as Executive Vice President II and Head of Strategic Initiatives within the Digital Banking Group at United Bank Limited. Her unique background in cross functional corporate strategy and financial technology execution is expected to drive modern engagement models for local professionals. Working alongside her, Abdul Qayyum Shaikh has been designated as the Vice Chair of the executive committee. A highly qualified professional holding the credentials of a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant alongside Certified Anti Money Laundering Professional status, he heads the Overseas Audit Unit at Bank Alfalah, bringing crucial international compliance and internal risk control perspectives to the leadership team.
The wider network body includes an impressive group of industry veterans from leading financial advisory firms, commercial banking corporations, and global tech operations. Among the newly inducted members is Amin Ali, who currently operates as the Senior Partner for Audit and Assurance at Crowe Hussain Chaudhury and Company, alongside Jawad Chughtai, the Founding Partner of theBPO. The specialized consulting and entrepreneurial viewpoints are further reinforced by Mahvish Memon, a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant who holds the chief executive chair at Dexter Consultants, bringing practical operational knowledge to institutional discussions.
Furthermore, consumer banking systems and large scale corporate accounting frameworks find deep representation within the newly solidified roster. Neelam Parkash, who manages product planning operations for Mashreq Bank, joins the leadership team to help bridge the gap between traditional accounting guidelines and evolving retail banking platforms. Similarly, corporate internal control structures are represented by Rauf Ali Jan, the Chief Internal Auditor for Habib Bank Limited. Their shared corporate presence ensures that the local accounting platform remains aligned with real world commercial developments and standard internal governance demands.
The panel also draws significant value from multinational development programs and international tech conglomerates, reflecting the expanding global footprint of domestic finance specialists. Sadia Khan joins the governing group bringing her deep background as the Head of Finance for the Asia Pacific region at Adam Smith International. The structural lineup is further supported by Shahzaib Sanwal, a Senior Director operating at EY Ford Rhodes, and Syed Haris Mahmood, who leads global revenue recognition initiatives for Nokia. This widespread industry footprint guarantees that the body holds the capacity to uplift standards across public practice, corporate governance, and digital industries.
The national organization has extended warm congratulations to all incoming officials, expressing full confidence in their collective capability to support and fortify the wider accounting landscape. By creating this multi dimensional executive core, the professional organization plans to deepen its policy research contributions, enhance continuing education pathways, and cultivate an increasingly resilient network of financial practitioners capable of navigating complex economic transitions.
