Welcome to the Institute of Certified Bookkeeper's (ICB) website. The ICB was established in 1931 with the aim of promoting bookkeeping qualifications and membership of an internationally recognised professional body.

The ICB conducts professional assessments for those persons who intend following a career in bookkeeping and accounting. The ICB qualifications are offered through accredited training providers which include:

Completion of any of these qualifications lead to professional membership of the ICB with designations awarded depending on what course of study has been followed. Learners intending following a career in Accounting are encouraged to commence their studies with the ICB’s Accounting Certification Programme, whilst those who are intending to for follow a career in Office Administration are encouraged to commence their studies with the ICB's Office Administration Certification Programme.

The ICB has been accredited by Fasset as a Quality Assurance Partner (QAP) for the qualifications under the ICB's scope which enables the ICB to accredit training providers to provide the tuition towards these registered qualifications. Those providers intending to offer any of the ICB qualifications are required to register with the ICB as an accredited training provider.

Whilst the ICB is based in South Africa, assessments are conducted throughout southern Africa.

Finally it should be noted that the ICB is associated with two complementary organisations, namely the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA) and the International Association of Bookkeepers, both based in the United Kingdom.
