Membership Routes and Mutual Recognition Agreements FAQ
Will I be able to retain my membership if the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) or the Member Route Agreement (MRA) reaches its expiration?

If I obtain membership with EICPA Association through the Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) or the Member Route Agreement (MRA), am I required to maintain my membership with my original professional body as stipulated by these agreements?
Indeed, maintaining dual membership is a fundamental requirement for any Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) as well as certain Mutual Professional Agreements (MRAs) that explicitly stipulate this condition within their terms.
As a member of the EICPA Association, will I be required to complete additional Continuing Professional Development (CPD) hours?
