Chartered Accountants Ireland and CPA Ireland finalise amalgamation
Chartered Accountants Ireland and CPA Ireland have started to operate as one institute under the Chartered Accountants Ireland brand.
Members of the two Irish-based accountancy bodies first voted on an amalgamation proposal in February.
A majority of members voted in favour of uniting the two organisations to create a single institute to better represent the interests of its members, the accountancy profession in Ireland, and the wider public.
From September 1, CPA Ireland members, students, staff and services have been incorporated into those of Chartered Accountants Ireland. The move has created the largest professional body on the island of Ireland.
Chartered Accountants Ireland President Barry Doyle said the culmination of close member engagement and strong collaboration between both institutes towards a shared vision for the future of the profession.
“I want to thank members for their support and feedback which has laid the foundations for a new chapter in our history, and I look forward to working closely with all members in the coming months,” he added.
