ICAS recently celebrated 760 newly qualified Chartered Accountants (CAs) officially joining the profession at its annual Admission Ceremony, held in Edinburgh.
Marking a milestone in the institute’s 170-year history, the Class of 2024 includes the first-ever students to study ICAS’ CA qualification through the Robert Gordon University (RGU) Graduate Apprenticeship programme.
Gail Boag, Executive Director of Learning at ICAS, said: “Welcoming the first RGU graduate apprentices as qualified CAs this year is a proud moment for ICAS. Their admission, alongside 760 peers, reaffirms the strength of the CA qualification and highlights ICAS’ appeal to a new generation of jobseekers and employers alike.
“The internationally renowned CA qualification opens doors to career opportunities beyond the realms of traditional accountancy and serves as a passport to the highest levels of business and finance – with 86 percent of FTSE 100 companies employing ICAS members in senior positions.”
