from an accounting perspective (ACCA) chartered is as per the defination you posted, given royal charter
I know in the US - It is all CPAs.
I think the word "chartered" is more common in the connonwealth.
Chartered Engineer (CEng MIEI) The following is the definition of a professional engineer recognised by the Council of Engineers Ireland and is the definition adopted in 1960 by the Conference of Engineering Societies of Western Europe and the United States of America (EUSEC):
"A professional engineer is competent by virtue of his/her fundamental education and training to apply the scientific method and outlook to the analysis and solution of engineering problems. He/she is able to assume personal responsibility for the development and application of engineering science and knowledge, notable in research, design, construction, manufacturing, superintending, managing and in the education of the engineer. His/her work is predominantly intellectual and varied and not of a routine mental or physical character. It requires the exercise of original thought and judgement and the ability to supervise the technical and administrative work of others."
Chartered Members of Engineers Ireland shall be known as "Chartered Engineers" and shall have the right to use after their name the abbreviation "CEng MIEI". This right shall be confined to Chartered Members and to persons within the State that the Council is satisfied they are authorised to describe themselves as Chartered Engineers. The Council shall keep a register of such persons and the By-Laws may provide for payment of fees for such registration (extract from The Institution of Civil Engineers of Ireland (Charter Amendment) Act, 1969).
There are three basic requirements for achieving the title Chartered Engineer: (a) A candidate is required to hold an accredited engineering degree or equivalent
(b) A formation period of at least eight years, including education. After graduation a candidate must have a minimum of four years of suitable training and experience
c) Submission of a 3,500 - 4,000 word Engineering Practice Report on the candidate's training and experience together with two 500 word essays on prescribed topics.
Yeah seems to be, you pass your exams and get your relevant experience and your in the door provided you stay out of trouble you are a member for life, but judging by the recent tribunals you would need to be very badly behaved before you get kicked outSo it's a club, then?
Accountants face censure for role in bankrolling Haughey by Barry O'Halloran
A DUNNES STORES trustee, its auditors, an accountancy firm and one of its managing partners, face professional misconduct charges for their role in bankrolling Charles Haughey.
A committee of inquiry set up after the McCracken Tribunal by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland revealed yesterday that two members and two firms have to answer a case of possible breaches of ethical guidelines, auditing standards and professional independence.
The body, chaired by former Supreme Court judge John Blayney, has adjourned to consider any fresh evidence from the Moriarty Tribunal.
Since September 1997, the Blayney inquiry has been investigating accountants Noel Fox and Paul Carty, along with their firms, Oliver Freaney and Co. and Deloitte and Touche.
CPA's are certified public accountants.I know in the US - It is all CPAs.
