MEMBERSHIP & PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
The Member Services Department manages the transition of student members to full professional membership within ICAG. This process begins once a student successfully completes all relevant levels of the CA professional programme.
Beyond individual memberships, the Department regulates accountancy firms by issuing public practice licenses. It acts as the central registry, maintaining authoritative national databases of all qualified members and practicing accounting firms across the country.
Professional Development & Community
Continuous Learning
We plan and organize core Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and mandatory CPD modules to upgrade member skills. Tailor-made training packages are also available for corporate entities across private and public sectors.
District Societies
We foster an enabling network nationwide, empowering localized chapters to host regular meetings and drive the direct welfare and growth of their contemporaries.
