Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies (known as CCAB) is an umbrella group for the British chartered accountancy bodies.
The CCAB was formed in 1974 and has six members:
- Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA)
- Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA)
- Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA)
- Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)
- Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI)
- Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)
The primary objective of the CCAB is to provide a forum for the member bodies to discuss issues of common concern, and where possible, to provide a common voice for the accountancy profession when dealing with the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland governments.
All the British and Irish professional accountancy bodies with a Royal Charter are members of the CCAB. In addition, all United Kingdom professional bodies that belong to the International Federation of Accountants are members of the CCAB.
Many job advertisements for accountants in the United Kingdom specify CCAB qualified in cases where an employer wishes to hire a professional accountant, but has no specific preference as to which institute.
