ABOUT CA SRI LANKA

Sri Lanka's national body for the Chartered Accountancy profession

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) is the national professional body that educates, examines and admits Chartered Accountants in Sri Lanka. Its members work across audit firms, corporates, banks and the public sector, at home and abroad.

The 2025–2030 curriculum runs across three levels — Business, Corporate and Strategic — with a capstone at each level. Every level leads to its own recognised qualification, so you earn a credential at each stage of the journey, not only at the end.

You can sit your examinations before your practical experience is completed, and complete Professional Experience I, II and III at one of the institute's Approved Training Partners, supervised by a CA member.
