The benefits
Once awarded, ICAEW membership will enable you to


1-Use the designatory letters ACA (Associate Chartered Accountant), leading to an FCA (Fellow Chartered Accountant)

2-Gain access to all the services and benefits available to ICAEW members




Requirement 5 appears to be a little difficult to meet otherwise I don’t see any difficulty in getting the charter ( The “ACA” I mean ) and as far as fee is concerned, it adds up to only GBP 636 - almost Rs. 70,000 – including practice certificate and perhaps that’s what has caused NASCAR to emit fire from mouth and dark smoke from under the belt. Pardon me for the rough use of words but there is no other way I can express it right.
