The Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Ireland (CPA Ireland) is a professional body for Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) in Ireland. It is one of the main Irish accountancy bodies, with 5,000 members and students. The CPA designation is the most commonly used designation worldwide for professional accountants. CPA Ireland was founded in 1943, and the Institute's qualification is recognised in many other countries under mutual recognition agreements. Its members work in accountancy firms, the public sector, the financial services, and other private sector businesses. The Institute is a member of the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies – Ireland (CCAB – I), a founding member of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC),〔(Founding Members ), IFAC〕 and a member of the Fédération des Experts Comptables Européens (FEE), the representative organisation for the profession in Europe. CPA Ireland has headquarters in Dublin and Belfast. == History of CPA Ireland == The Institute of Certified Public Accountants was founded as the Society of Public Accountants on 29 January 1943. The first two students sat their CPA exams in 1951 and that number has since grown to over 5000 members and students in 2011. In 1961 the Society gained legal recognition and changed its name to The Irish Society of Certified Public Accountants Ltd; this was changed again in 1971 to The Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Ireland. The Institute was invited to join the Consultative Committee of Accountancy Bodies – Ireland in 1991. CPA Ireland held merger discussions with the 20,000-member Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland in 2001 and again in 2003, but on both occasions the respective Councils of each body decided not to proceed to a vote of members on the issue. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Institute of Certified Public Accountants in Ireland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
