How to apply for ICAEW membership
As a member of ICAS you can gain membership of the ICAEW by providing evidence from your parent body that you are:
- A member in good standing
- To have obtained their membership via the normal training and education route
- Paying the appropriate admission and subscription fees
Please note, even if your application is successful you will not be able to use the ICAEW designatory letters ACA or FCA.
Practising certificate
The ICAEW recognises practising certificates (PC) issued by ICAS. You will not be required to gain an additional PC with the ICAEW if you already hold one with ICAS.
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.
