This page explains how you, as a member of the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants (CICPA), can join the ICAEW, including how to top up your CPA qualification to become an ACA; applying for a practising certificate; and how to gain audit rights in the UK with our Audit Qualification.
Membership agreement
Qualified members of the CICPA will need to 'top up' their CPA qualification to become an ACA and be eligible to join the ICAEW.
Practising certificate
If you intend to practise in the UK or EC you must apply for a practising certificate. You may only practice as an ICAEW member if you have been a member of CICPA for at least two years.
Audit rights
ICAEW membership does not automatically grant you audit rights in the UK, so if you intend to work in audit during your career, then we recommend that you apply for the Audit Qualification (AQ) when joining us.
