Our aim is to support the Chartered Accountant qualification and brand. Our assertion is that Chartered Accountants are Ireland's premier business advisors and to support that claim we aim to provide you with an array of information services and cutting edge resources that support your working activity.
Publishing
The Publishing Division reflects our policy of supporting members and students with timely, relevant and accurate information. The Chartered Accountants Ireland publishing programme has become an important channel for thought leadership and business expertise in the public arena. From a standing start two years ago, we have now over 30 publications in print. While accounting titles are the mainstay of the catalogue, we also publish books with more general appeal. We've set ourselves further challenges for 2008 and 2009, including an expansion of our catalogue of accounting and business material, the updating of existing titles and new initiatives in electronic publishing.
A Vital News Resource - Accountancy Ireland is a vital source of information for accountants, becoming a veritable bible for the accountancy profession in Ireland. It is now Ireland's largest circulation business magazine.
The magazine is printed 6 times a year and distributed free of charge to members and students. Each issue contains articles that are indispensable to you, with news, announcements and advertisements for accountants in industry, practice, and the public and voluntary sectors. The magazine welcomes contributions from readers, particularly brief news items and photographs.
Research and Information Services (RIS)
Our Research & Information Services is the most comprehensive resource of its kind for accountants in Ireland.
