What ICATT does

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Trinidad and Tobago (ICATT) is the statutory, non-profit national regulatory body for the accountancy profession in Trinidad and Tobago, incorporated by Act No. 33 of 1970. It is the sole authority authorised to regulate the practice of accountancy and bestow the "CA" (Chartered Accountant) designation within the country, serving members in practice, members not in practice, students pursuing accountancy qualifications, registered accounting firms, and reciprocal members from CARICOM and approved IFAC member bodies. ICATT's core deliverables include awarding the CA designation, issuing Practising (Audit and Non-Audit) Certificates through its Licensing Committee, administering ACCA/FIA student registration, and delivering Continuing Professional Development (CPD).

ICATT operates on an iMIS-based association management platform (icatt.imiscloud.com / icattstaging.imiscloud.com) that supports online account creation, membership applications, an online store with payment processing, and virtual AGM infrastructure with electronic voting via unique secure member links. Its CPD On-Demand Learning catalogue delivers filterable courses in governance, digital transformation, financial reporting, leadership, strategy, risk and analytics, priced between $250 and $800 per course by CPD hour count. The technology stack is commodity association-management software rather than proprietary IP; the durable differentiator is the statutory designation authority and 50+ years of institutional continuity.

ICATT's revenue is generated through five streams: recurring annual membership dues and practising certificate fees, per-course CPD fees, executive forum and AGM registration fees (e.g., CFO Forum 2026 at TT$2,000 + VAT), transactional ACCA/FIA registration and re-registration fees administered on behalf of qualification bodies, and minor merchandise sales (polo shirts, certificate frames). Go-to-market is hybrid: self-serve online application via the website, direct Council/Licensing Committee administration for practising certificates and firm registration, and event-driven engagement anchored by the AGM and CFO Forum. Distribution is single-country (Trinidad and Tobago), with reciprocal recognition extending credential portability but not commercial reach.

Core offering

ICATT is the national statutory regulatory body for the accountancy profession in Trinidad and Tobago. It administers Chartered Accountant (CA) membership, issues practising and auditing certificates, accredits Registered Firms, delivers on-demand CPD courses and executive forums (such as the CFO Forum 2026), and oversees compliance with IFAC-aligned global standards of practice and ethics.

Product overview

ICATT (the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Trinidad and Tobago) is a national professional accountancy body, not a software vendor, and its offering is a portfolio of membership services, governance events, and professional development products delivered through an iMIS-based digital platform rather than a single unified SaaS product. The portfolio centers on the Chartered Accountant (CA) Membership — with sub-tiers for Member Not in Practice, Member in Practice, Student, and ICATT Registered Firm — supported by ICATT CPD On-Demand Learning (priced courses in governance, financial reporting, analytics, etc.), the ICATT Shop (ACCA/FIA registration fees, Affiliate/Grad Subscription, merchandise like the ICATT Polo T-Shirt and Certificate Frame), and governance outputs including the ICATT Rules and Regulations 2018, the Strategic Plan 2022-2025 ("Driving Sustainability, Reinforcing Trust"), and the ICATT Position on IFRS S1 & S2. Member-facing events include the 56th Annual General Meeting (March 26, 2026, virtual) and the ICATT CFO Forum 2026 — Architects of Enterprise Value (July 9, 2026, Hyatt Regency). Together these constitute ICATT's end-to-end professional services portfolio for the Trinidad and Tobago accountancy profession.

Partnerships

Eleven partnerships are on record, tiered unclear — context suggests a different icatt entity than the trinidad and tobago institute, flagship strategic partner for student pathway, core reciprocal-membership partner and core audit partner.

• RPM (emergency medical)unclear — context suggests a different icatt entity than the trinidad and tobago instituteStrategic or Co-development Partner · 4 November 2025According to a TradingView news article dated 2025-11-04, RPM and ICATT signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to strengthen global emergency medical collaboration.
