Graduate to Global: Why ACCA
Your ICB qualification is just the beginning.
Through an accredited pathway between the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), you can take the next step toward a globally recognised accounting career — with a clear route to ACCA membership and eligibility toward becoming a Registered Auditor (RA) in South Africa.
ACCA is a leading global professional body for accountants, respected worldwide for its rigorous standards, ethical foundation, and real-world relevance. In 2023, ACCA received IRBA accreditation, meaning eligible members may qualify as Registered Auditors. As an ICB student or graduate, you may also qualify for exam exemptions, helping you fast-track your journey to the Strategic Professional level — the final step toward ACCA membership.
