Chartered Accountants Ireland

CPA Ireland is now part of Chartered Accountants Ireland. The amalgamation of the institutes has created the largest professional body on the island of Ireland with over 38,000 members and 6,000 students.
For students, our amalgamation unlocks the benefits of dual designation, increased qualification recognition at home and abroad, and a single consistent and high standard of education for all.

Looking to the future of our organisation, I’m excited about the many opportunities this will present, including but not limited to: a widening of our professional networks, improved opportunities to advocate for our members, students, and profession; and a renewed sense of purpose and vision for the future of accountancy in Ireland.
