The Board of Directors of the Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants approved, by Resolution No. (3/9) dated 05/07/1447 AH corresponding to 25-12-2025, amendments to the Rules Governing Accounting Services and the Rules Governing Zakat and Tax Accounting Services. The amendment updates the definition of "the Minister" in Article One of both sets of rules to read: "the Minister: a minister from among the members of the Council of Ministers, appointed by order of the President of the Council of Ministers upon a proposal from the Council of Economic and Development Affairs." This change aligns with the updated ministerial definition in the Accounting and Auditing Profession Law and the Organization's statute, as established by Council of Ministers Resolution No. (283) dated 22/04/1447 AH.
