A year with a future focus

In 2024 we celebrated out 170th anniversary, but it proved to be a year in which we focused on the future and not the past.

It was filled with strategic delivery to support our members, students and firms, and tackle the big issues to safeguard the profession for decades to come.

And just over 12 months on from the launch of our ambitious strategy, ‘ICAS 2030: Together we will…’ we had already delivered much of what we set out to do. 

The headline in 2024 was the launch of our new CA syllabus, which is a game changer for ICAS and the profession. Delivered at pace, on time and to budget, the new syllabus ensures our CA qualification keeps pace with advances in technology, data and sustainability, empowering those who earn it to lead the economies of tomorrow. 

We also continued to drive forward in key areas of our strategy and were a leading voice on topics of ethics, sustainability, equality, diversity and inclusion, and technology.
