ICAEW Pathways

ICAEW Pathways helps support fully qualified members from 15 professional membership bodies ;around the globe become ICAEW Chartered Accountants.

Becoming an ICAEW member does not mean you replace or revoke membership of the professional body you originally qualified with, instead you gain an additional designation and receive ICAEW member benefits.

We recognise that senior professionals, those who have qualified with other membership bodies internationally and in the UK, may have gained a similar level of knowledge, experience and skills to that included in the ACA qualification. However, rather than completing the full ACA qualification, these professionals can gain ICAEW membership based on their prior experience and qualified status.

We are delighted to provide our expertise to even more professionals so we may enable a world of sustainable economies.

Become an ICAEW member

If you are eligible, ICAEW Pathways enables you to complete the requirements in your own time and is a great opportunity for career acceleration. If successful, you will be entitled to use the ACA designation after your name and take full advantage of all ICAEW member benefits.

ICAEW Pathways also benefits organisations too by

  • supporting succession planning and talent retention;
  • removing the need to be regulated by more than one accountancy body;
  • helping ensure firms retain their chartered status; and
  • supporting top finance teams to be recognised as a world-class team of chartered accountants.
