Mutual Recognition Agreements
• What Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) will exist?
MRA applications through CPA closed on 22nd August 2024. Mutual Recognition Agreements currently in place (AICPA, CPA Australia, ICMAP (Pakistan), ICMAB (Bangladesh), ICA Sri Lanka, SAIPA, and ICA India) will transition on September 1st. Following 1st September, you will be able to apply through the Chartered Accountants Ireland website here.
• I became a CPA Ireland member though an MRA. Will I retain my membership?
All CPA Ireland members in good standing, whether through MRA or otherwise, will automatically get the Chartered Accountants Ireland designation.
• Will CPA Ireland members be given new Chartered Accountants Ireland certificates after amalgamation?
You can request a new Chartered Accountants Ireland certificate. Please contact
Jenny Conmy regarding new certificates.
• I was approved to CPA membership already, but I have not yet received my certificate. Do I get a CPA certificate now or a Chartered Accountants Ireland certificate and who do I contact?
Please be advised that, due to the recent amalgamation, CPA Ireland certificates will no longer be issued. We recommend that you obtain a membership certificate directly from Chartered Accountants Ireland.
