Information for employers and mentors

We recognise that the new Chartered Accountants Program will impact you as an employer or mentor of NZICA members. We we will work with you so you can put appropriate plans in place to minimise these impacts.

The Chartered Accountants Program will provide graduates with applied technical skills due to the increased practical and professional emphasis. This may reduce the time you need to put into your own staff training programmes.

If your student is a new employee who has not yet registered as a provisional member please refer them to the transitional arrangements (PDF, 78KB). This is particularly important for employees who need to complete the Foundations programme as some of the pre-requisite requirements for entry to that programme have changed.

We have created some information for employers to answer questions you may be receiving from students:

• A guide for tertiary students - with NZICA accounting can take you anywhere
• A summary of the Chartered Accountants Program
• FAQs for employers speaking to students about the Chartered Accountants Program

Mentors
