The Verifera™ Encyclopaedia — Careers edition
CA
Verified reference for UK professional registers, credentials and career pathways. Every entry shows its sources and last-verified date — the “Verified by Verifera” mark appears only when all facts are in-window.
ICAS — Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland
ICAS awards the CA (Chartered Accountant) designation and is both a Recognised Supervisory Body and a Recognised Qualifying Body for statutory audit. Scotland-rooted but global in reach.
✔ Verified by VeriferaPathwayUS CPA and UK membership — no automatic reciprocity
The US CPA is licensed state-by-state, with no automatic UK-US reciprocity for individuals. A long-running ICAS/ICAEW-AICPA mutual-recognition pilot was suspended/allowed to lapse, so a US CPA wanting ICAEW/ICAS membership currently routes through that body's "members of other bodies" assessment — not an automatic swap.
