ICAC

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of the Caribbean (ICAC) was established on October 28, 1988, bringing together accountants within the English–speaking Caribbean. The founding members of the ICAC were Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Lucia, and Trinidad & Tobago. Since its establishment, the ICAC has provided a forum for the advancement of the accountancy profession in the Caribbean. Today, with seven member bodies (national accounting institutes) and a network of approximately 3,700 accountancy professionals, the ICAC is the recognised accountancy grouping for the Caribbean dedicated to advancing the interest of accountants within the Caribbean through the promotion of internationally acceptable standards and best practices, thought leadership, research and continuing professional development. Among its many achievements, the ICAC is proud to be recognised as an “Acknowledged Accountancy Grouping” of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). This is a designation held by only five other accountancy groupings in the world. These groupings support the objectives of IFAC and the advancement of the accountancy profession within their jurisdictions. The ICAC is committed to promoting the fundamental values of the accountancy profession - Truth and Fairness, Integrity, Justice and Prosperity - which is embodied in its motto, Veritas et Viritus (Truth and Virtue)
