Information and resources for current CPA students who will be coming into membership in 2024, and how this may be effected by the proposed amalgamation of Chartered Accountants Ireland and CPA Ireland.

Details of the Admission to Membership Process for 2024 can be found here.

Students who are both exam complete and training complete will be able to apply to CPA Ireland for admission to membership prior to the Amalgamation date (i.e., 1 September 2024). Upon review of your completed application, if CPA Ireland deems that you have satisfied all the criteria for admission, then it will approve your admission prior to the Amalgamation. If by that date, you are unable to demonstrate that you satisfy the criteria, then you will be able to apply to the amalgamated institute (i.e., Chartered Accountants Ireland) within 3 years of the Amalgamation date.

All students that have completed their CPA Ireland examinations within the previous 3 years will be contacted by CPA Ireland and advised in relation to applying for membership of CPA Ireland. Prior to that, you should ensure that your training records are up to date.  Once this is done, you will be advised by CPA Ireland of your next steps.

Students who complete and pass their remaining CPA Ireland examinations in April 2024, will be written to and advised of the CPA Ireland membership application process prior to the Amalgamation
We strongly recommended that, prior to receiving your examination results, you ensure that your training records are up to date.  Once you are eligible CPA Ireland will contact you and advise you of the next steps to become a member.

For students who complete and pass their your remaining CPA Ireland examinations in August 2024 and are training complete when the results are published will be written to and advised of the process for applying to membership to the amalgamated institute (i.e., Chartered Accountants Ireland). It is broadly similar to the CPA Ireland process. You will be provided with details of the steps involved, resources and support available to enable you successfully complete your application.
