Why CPA Certified Public Accountants Training ?

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

By undertaking and completing the CPA exams and training we offer you the opportunity to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and gain a professional accountancy qualification.

 

As well as opening the door to a diverse and worthwhile career the CPA qualification also offers:

  • Flexible exam and training systems
  • The option to split final level exams over 4 consecutive exam sittings
  • The widest range of approved educators in Ireland
  • Freedom to move between practice and ‘industry’ during training
  • A qualification that has wide international recognition

During training CPA students do not have to commit to a training contract with one employer, allowing flexibility and freedom to move around during training. CPA students can also put relevant work experience towards training requirements and do not need to be in relevant employment when starting exams.

CPA members and students are supported by an Irish-based and controlled Institute which has seen a growth of 41% in membership in the last 5 years.

With an increase of 9% alone in 2007, the CPA had the fastest growing membership among Irish accountancy bodies, according to the Annual Report of the Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority (IASSA). The average growth rates across all accountancy bodies stands at 6%.

Genesis Business College offers part-time CPA Training programmes starting in September of each year.

IATI has changed its name to Accounting Technicians Ireland

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Accounting Technicians Ireland (formerly IATI) is the leading professional body for Accounting Technicians in Ireland. They educate, support and represent over 10,000 people working in the profession on this island.

The Accounting Technicians Ireland qualification differs from many other academic programmes as it combines professional exams with practical work experience. As fully qualified members, individuals are entitled to put the letters MIATI after their name, seen by many employers as essential when hiring.

Accounting Technicians Ireland is a not-for-profit organisation and all its revenues are continually reinvested for the benefit of its members. They are a partner body of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and an associate member of the International Federation of Accountants. Accounting Technicians Ireland is the trading name for the Institute of Accounting Technicians in Ireland Limited.

Accounting Technicians are qualified accounting professionals that work at all levels of finance. They can work in all types of organisations and are widely employed throughout the public sector, industry and commerce and in private accounting practices.

Accounting Technicians are involved in the day-to-day practical work of accountancy and play a key operational role in producing reliable financial information. They can perform a wide range of finance roles, from accounts staff to financial controller and beyond. For instance, they can do financial accounting and budgeting, costing and credit control, payroll administration and tax returns. More experienced Accounting Technicians may often perform senior managerial tasks and audits.

Accounting Technicians can work on their own or alongside professional accountants. In a small company, they may be the only qualified accounting professional looking after the finance function, while in a larger company, they may be working as part of a team alongside accountants and administrative staff. While they are not accountants, they can perform many of the same functions and are qualified to take accounts up to trial balance
