Only current, active members of ICAS may call themselves a CA. Former members, exam-qualified students, and members of the general public may not use the designation CA

If you need to confirm someone is a CA, you can search for them by name on our Find a CA service. All members listed in this directory are current members of ICAS, and entitled to call themselves Chartered Accountants.

If you cannot find someone in the directory, they may be a Chartered Accountant through ICAEW, ACCA or CAI.

Where a person has told you they are a Chartered Accountant through ICAS, and you cannot find them on the directory, please contact the Channels team. Remember, we will only be able to give out the information which is normally available on the public directory (Name, year of joining and business address or home city). Membership verification requests by email take about five working days for a response.

Unfortunately, not everyone who calls themselves an accountant is a member of a regulatory body. The term accountant is not protected by law (unlike lawyer), so always choose a Chartered Accountant.

Enquiries regarding ICAS students or exam-qualified individuals should be directed to students@icas.com
