Membership agreement
Qualified members of the ICAI will need to sit and pass the ACA's Advanced Stage exams and the ethics module in order to be eligible to join the ICAEW.
Pathways to Membership
If you are a fully qualified ICAI member with at least five years’ full membership, you may be eligible to join ICAEW based on your experience through the Pathways to membership route.
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 ICAI 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.
