    Im reading some info I got recently from the ICAI.

    "Membership of the ICAI is important as it allows you to promote yourself as a ‘Chartered Accountant’ and not simply a ‘Qualified Accountant’. "

    So what exactly is the difference?
    Cant ACCA members call themselves charted too? Association of Certified Chartered Accountants?

    There is no difference really, just a difference in 'title'

    ICAI Member = 'Chartered Accountant'
    ACCA Member = 'Chartered Certified Accountant'

    I wouldn't get too hung up on 'what you can call yourself' after you qualify.

    The letters after your name willl say it all.
