An accounting designation given to accounting professionals in many countries around the world outside of the United States. A Chartered Accountant (CA) designation typically proves the holder has the qualifications to audit financial statements and business practices as well as offer advisory services to clients. The equivalent to a CA designation in the U.S. is the Certified Public Accountant.[1]

- United Kingdom
- Australia
- Canada
- India
- Republic of Ireland
- Nigeria
- Pakistan
