BICA Qualification

Following the passing of the Accountants Act 2010, the Botswana Institute of Chartered Accountants (BICA) has introduced its own professional accountancy qualification. The Botswana professional accountancy qualification evolved out of a realization that:

Register as a Chartered Accountant

Register as an Independant Student

BICA (with the support of the MFDP and the World Bank) entered into a twinning arrangement with one of the world`s leading professional bodies, The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), to facilitate the development of the Botswana professional accountancy qualification.

Ethics and Professional Scepticism

Students will receive a thorough grounding in ethics through the Ethics and Professional Scepticism (EPS) programme.

ICAEW examination

BICA will be supported throughout by the use of the ICAEW examination scheme and joint BICA-ICAEW oversight.
