The title is an internationally recognised professional designation.

Chartered Accountants Institutes require members to undertake a minimum level of continuing professional development to stay ahead of their peers.
They facilitate special interest groups - lead academic and professional thinking in accountancy. They provide support to members by offering advisory services, technical helplines and technical libraries. They offer opportunities for professional networking and career and business development.

The Canadian professional designation for a Chartered Accountant is CA, with senior members having given exemplary service to the profession being able to be granted the designation FCA. The local institute/ordre may have strict regulations as to the usage of the designation by out-of-province CAs within their jurisdiction, but it is normally a straightforward matter to transfer membership from one provincial institute to another.

They must, however, pass an aptitude test in understanding local conditions (which for accountants will include local tax and company law variations).

For example a holder of the French 'expert comptable' qualification could practise as an accountant in England without taking a local test but could only describe him/herself as "Expert Comptable (France)" not "Chartered Accountant".

People seeking to qualify as a CA(SA) normally begin with a bachelor's degree

 in accounting. They then complete a CTA (Certificate for Theory in Accounting), followed by part one (QE) and part two (PPE) of the qualifying exams. They must also complete three years of practical experience, working for a registered training office. Articled clerks who switch employers during this period are required to extend their training by six months.

A separate registration is needed for Chartered Accountants wishing to act as auditors in public practice, namely the RA (Registered Auditor). The RA designation is conferred by IRBA (Independent Regulatory Board For Auditors), (previously known as PAAB (Public Accountants and Auditors Board)) in terms of the Auditing Profession Act (AP Act).

Chartered Accountants who are not registered auditors may not act as or hold out to be auditors in public practice. However, the AP Act does not prohibit non-RAs from using the description 'internal auditor' or accountant' or from auditing a not-for-profit club, institution or association if he or she receives no fee for such audit. The Training Outside Public Practice (TOPP) programme has a financial management focus; TOPP trainees can thus become chartered accountants with a more limited knowledge and experience of auditing than those who undergo the TIPP programme (Training In Public Practice),but with a more extensive financial management and business experience than the TIPP learners.

In South Africa the companies act has changed with effect July 2010, to allow companies without a public interest to choose between an audit or a review. A review is not an attest function and will be performed by Accountants whom are members of bodies, that are members of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). In South Africa these bodies are: ACCA, SAICA, SAIPA.
