Regulation in changing accountant professions in Saudi Arabia.

Foreigners working in 19 accountant professions in Saudi Arabia have been suspended by the Ministry of Labor. Those who are in these professions are required to register with the Saudi Organization for Certified Public Accounts. The ministry also said that those who have not completed the registration process cannot renew their Iqama.


The registration process was initiated as part of the intensification of digitization and modernization of the employment sector. The Ministry of Labor has made it mandatory on August 31, 2012, that the Registered Certificates of Registration should be registered with the Public Accounts Organization. The announcement was made already, but no one seriously considered the idea of ​​changing the profession when Iqama was renewed. Some have switched to safer professions. But for those in these professions, the change of profession has come to a complete halt. Therefore, Iqama can be renewed only by registering with the Public Accounts Organization (SOCPA). Otherwise, he would have to take other measures without renewing his iqama.
