Membership of the Institute is structured into three levels, viz:
Chartered Accountant:
This is the ultimate qualification of the Institute. Holders of such qualification can serve in the highest financial level of a large enterprise.
General Accountant:
This is the semi-professional qualification which makes the holder eligible for a financial position at a middle management level with a medium sized organisation, or for a financial controller position in a medium sized institution.
Technician Accountant:
This level qualifies the holder for a senior bookkeeper position.
Membership in all categories is divided into:
In-practice - for those with adequate auditing experience;
In other occupation - for those who are employed in industry.
Admission to any level of membership depends on the examinations passed, exemptions granted and the number of years relevant experience.
