Institute of Chartered Accountants of Jamaica
Member | Established: 1968 | Member since 1977
The ICAJ was established by the Public Accountancy Act of 1968 as the accounting and audit standard-setter in the jurisdiction. While the Public Accountancy Board (PAB) is the entity primarily responsible for regulating Public Accountants, it entered into an agreement with ICAJ to share responsibilities for: (i) conducting quality assurance reviews; (ii) conducting an investigations and disciplinary system; (iii) establishing ethical requirements; and (iv) conducting continuing professional development for Public Accountants. A person wishing to be registered as a Public Accountant in Jamaica needs to become a member of ICAJ.
In addition to being a member of the International Federation of Accountants, ICAJ is also a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of the Caribbean.
