Legally anyone can call themselves an
‘accountant’ – they don’t need any
qualifications, training or experience.
ICAEW Chartered Accountants are financial experts
with the knowledge, initiative and judgement you
can trust.
What does ‘chartered’ mean?
The chartered title is an internationally recognised
professional designation which can be used by
qualified professionals including accountants,
engineers and surveyors. It demonstrates the highest
standards of ethical and professional conduct, up-to-
date technical expertise and capability of a qualified
professional.
