The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Trinidad and Tobago regulates the practice of accountancy in Trinidad & Tobago. The Institute authorizes the use of the Accountancy designation “CA” to members. When you become a member, you become certified to practice as a Chartered Accountant.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Trinidad and Tobago (ICATT) has been bringing accountants together for more than fifty years. Our members are well-placed in every major business both private and public and their skills as Chartered Accountants strengthen the national economy. ICATT is the regulatory body responsible for the training, development and sustainability of our members. We do this through education and adherence to global standards of practice and ethics in the public interest.
Membership means belonging to a network of fellow professionals meeting voluntarily to share learnings, opportunities for personal development and advancement. We provide value to members at every stage of their careers by promoting, recognising and protecting their designations as well as keeping them connected with peers who are well-placed in every industry.
