Launching in early 2024, this agreement adds to the already existing pathways for members of both institutes, providing greater flexibility for CPFA and ACA chartered accountants to work across the public and private sectors.

CIPFA and ICAEW members who have qualified within the past five years will be able to gain CPFA and ACA designation and qualify for dual membership by taking an additional module with the other institute and submitting a statement of intent.

Initially, this new accelerated route will focus on members working in UK central and local government and the NHS, including overseas members.
