Transferring from ACCA to ICAI/ICAEW

    I am currently in Australia. When i first signed up to ACCA it was marketed as the global qualification. The first country I go to outside of Ireland i.e. Australia they never even heard of ACCA in most cases.

    Anyway this is my predicament. I am a fully qualified ACCA and I was wondering if anyone has transferred to ICAEW or ICAI using thepathways to membership or elevation program? If so was it worth doing?

    Cheers

    Not to sure about ICAI.... From what I read myself if you are ACCA qualified you can gain membership to ICAEW once you have 5 years post qualification experience - once your an FCCA then.

    Have a look at their website, fairly sure it's on there - www.icaew.co.uk

    Also if you hear what the deal is with ICAI, I wouldn't mind knowing myself

    In fact on the above here you go:

    Seems you can do it once you are not living in the UK and have 5 years PQE

    ^^ ACCA make it painful to apply for a practicing cert.

    It'd be easier for me to switch membership to ICAEW and the practice cert for a sole trader is free.

    The insurance seems very cheap too. Mmmmmmmm
