Geographic spread
The Chartered Accountancy profession is truly global and almost half (47.4%) of the world’s Chartered Accountants are based in Asia. The Chartered Accountancy qualification is an internationally recognised standard, enabling the flow of skills, knowledge, and expertise around the world. The global Chartered Accountancy profession supports communities, shapes economies, and enables businesses to thrive.
Age
Globally, the Chartered Accountancy profession’s age demographic is relatively young with over half the membership (50.3%) in the 26-45 age group vs 33.7% of members in the 45-65 age group. CAW and its member bodies are also focussed on ensuring that the pipeline into the profession is robust and diverse and has created a Global Young Leaders Think-tank to analyse attractiveness and retention within the profession and look at how to tackle the myths surrounding accounting careers and the potential barriers to entering the profession.
