NUSACC Tax summary for years between 1994-2012
Here are few points that we would like to highlight:
The NUSACC is an organization promoted by the Arab League.
It is public knowledge that the Arab League recently fired many of their employees for financial reasons, however, the salary of the president of NUSACC "David Hamod" was 300,000 $ annually in 2012 .
In July 2007, AACC offered to pay the Arab League 70% of all projected income derived from certification of commercial documents if they would give AACC the exclusive right to provide the certification services to the Arab countries. AACC believes that if we were appointed, we would generate over 3,000,000 $ in 2008. This would provide the Arab League with revenues from the income of the certifications of approximately 2,100,000 $
To the best of our knowledge, AACC believes that NUSACC did not pay the Arab league any percentage of the revenues that they received from the certification services.
Because of the difficulties of communicating between AACC and the Arab League in Egypt and Lebanon, we are providing this web site as an open invitation to the Arab league to make an intelligent decision in this matter.
