A candidate who desires to become a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and thereby a practicing chartered accountant must: a) Clear the intermediate and final examination of the Institute. b) Register as an articled or audit clerk with a practicing chartered accountant. c) Register with the board of studies of the Institute. In order to be eligible for appearing in the intermediate and final exams of the Institute, the aspirant must have successfully completed and passed the foundation course.
