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:
- A strong economy like that of Botswana needs a strong accountancy profession
- A strong profession needs a strong professional body
- A professional body will be stronger if it has its own qualification
- Students who enrol for the BICA qualification and subsequently become full members will have first loyalty to BICA.

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.

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