What we do

The New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants promotes, controls and regulates the profession of accountancy in New Zealand.

We ensure that the quality, expertise and integrity of our members meet the highest standards.

We deliver the professional education and training people need to achieve our various designations and the continuing professional development required for them to maintain the high standards of those designations.

We work in the public interest to advocate for sound public policy in the financial, regulatory and taxation areas. Internationally, we advocate for New Zealand’s interests through our membership of international accountancy bodies.

We represent more than 30,000 members in New Zealand and around the world.

Our designations represent competence, integrity and commitment to the profession and to the users of our members’ services.

Our members work in public practice, in corporates, in educational institutions, in government and in not-for-profit organisations. They work in towns and cities in New Zealand and across the world in professional roles that are as diverse as their workplaces.
