Since the mid-sixties, the Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana (ICAG) has been providing accountancy training at both technician and professional levels. In those early days, pass rates at various levels were impeded by the non-availability of reading materials for students. This trend experienced a turnaround in the 80s and has seen a major boost since accounting manuals for the four levels were introduced in November 2008. The establishment of the ICAG College in June 2009 augmented the Institute’s effort to provide readily available tuition to prospective and regular students on part-time and regular streams. This ties in with the Institute’s bid to provide quality tuition at the three levels (that is, Parts 1–3) in a conducive learning environment at the ICAG College located at Okponglo, East Legon, along the Trinity Theological Seminary–UPSA Road.

ICAG collaborated with the English Institute of Chartered Accountants in conducting professional examinations until 1978, when the Institute gained autonomy.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants, Ghana was incorporated on 19th April 1963 by presidential assent, providing Ghana with a local professional accountancy body.

Past examination questions and suggested solutions for the Professional and ATSWA examinations can be accessed online through the Institute's website and ICAspace.
