CHARTERED ACCOUNTANTS AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND

and financially astute professionals who utilise their skills every day to make a difference for

businsses the world over.

We focus on the education and lifelong learning of members, and engage in advocacy and thought

leadership in areas that impact the economy and domestic and international capital markets.

A watershed member vote in 2013 set the course for the Institute to amalgamate with the New

Zealand Institute Chartered Accountants (subject to obtaining formal government approvals and

effecting amendments to constituent documents), with the vision of becoming the trusted leaders

in business and finance.

The proposed new institute – Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand – is expected

to have more than 90,000 members in total with 17,000-plus candidates, giving us greater scale

and influence on the world stage.

We are a member of the International Federation of Accountants, and are connected globally

through the 800,000-strong Global Accounting Alliance and Chartered Accountants Worldwide

which brings together leading Institutes in Australia, England and Wales, Ireland, New Zealand,

Scotland and South Africa to support and promote over 320,000 Chartered Accountants in more

than 180 countries.

Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand was formed in 2014 by the merger of the

Institute of Chartered Accountants Australia and the New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants.
