Students who do not plan to sit exams in August 2024 will transition to the Chartered Accountants Ireland syllabus based on exams already exempted or passed on the CPA Ireland syllabus (see table below).
Choice of subjects for August 2024
Students are advised that, where possible, they should select subjects that will facilitate a smooth transition to Chartered Accountants Ireland, in the event that the amalgamation goes ahead.
Chartered Accountants Ireland will recognise all exemptions granted by CPA Ireland and all examination passes achieved on the CPA Ireland syllabus. CPA Ireland students at the Foundation or Professional Level will be given the opportunity to transition to the Chartered Accountants Ireland syllabus with CAP1 or CAP2 subjects remaining as outlined below. Students at Strategic Level may continue on the CPA Ireland Strategic Level syllabus or switch to FAE. Students who transition to the Chartered Accountants Ireland syllabus will be eligible for FAE exams after completion of the required CAP1 and CAP2 examinations.

Students who have completed some Professional Level examinations and are eligible to complete their Professional Level in August 2024 are advised to select their remaining Professional Level examinations. This will enable them to transition with only the Strategic Level exams remaining.
At the AGM on 17 May 2024, members of CPA Ireland voted to approve a resolution that would adopt changes to its constitution to facilitate the amalgamation with Chartered Accountants Ireland. This follows the mandate of members to amalgamate both Institutes. As Chartered Accountants Ireland members also approved its bye-law amendments, the two Institutes are now continuing to work towards a joint future with a proposed amalgamation date of 01 September 2024.
