Retired | For someone who has retired from active practice but who wishes to stay connected | £37.50 + VAT |
CPA Future | CPA Future is a subgroup within the full membership (it is not a separate membership group). It is a group aimed at members with less experience or those members who are new to the industry (circa less than 10 years of professional experience). The CPA Future runs events aimed at this group, and joining this group will ensure you receive notifications of them. For more information click here. | Free to Members |
