ICAS has initiated a new fast-track pathway that enables experienced auditors from around the world to gain the UK Audit Qualfiication (AQ) – and progress to ICAS membership.
The pathway, approved by the Financial Reporting Council, offers a targeted and streamlined route (the quickest ever) for senior members of many internationally recognised accountancy bodies.
Candidates will only have to complete the UK specific competencies required by the regulator, supported by relevant practical experience.
Gail Boag, ICAS CEO (pictured), said: “This pathway recognises the depth of audit expertise already held by senior international professionals and channels it efficiently into UK practice. It reflects ICAS’ commitment to opening a faster, more streamlined route for talented auditors to gain the UK Audit Qualification and play a vital role in upholding audit quality across the UK.”
