The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia is the professional body representing Chartered Accountants. Our reach extends to over 60,000 members and aspiring members – more than 48,000 Chartered Accountants and more than 12,000 candidates currently enrolled in our postgraduate Chartered Accountants Program.

Our members work in diverse roles across commerce and industry, public practice, academia and government throughout Australia and in 119 countries around the world.
