ICAEW member

Non ICAEW member

In order for us to process your application, please also send us a letter of good standing from your professional body – to be issued and dated within the last three months – to confirm your membership and:

• the date you were admitted into membership as a fully qualified member;
• that you have a good disciplinary record;
• that you are compliant with the continuing professional development (CPD) requirements of that professional body; and
• that your professional body knows of no ethical or other reason why you may not become ATP within your firm.

Please note that in some cases, we may also contact the body directly before approving your application. If you have been excluded from another professional body, you must also disclose that to us and provide the relevant details.
