It is required by CPA Ireland’s Bye-Laws that an individual must have a minimum of three years of practical experience in practice and/or business before being eligible to apply for the CPA Ireland credential. Additional experience criteria apply for CPA Ireland members seeking a license to practice public accounting.
To meet the experience criteria of the eligibility requirements of this agreement, US CPAs must have one year of practical experience in the past ten years. Experience acquired in the US is acceptable and may be obtained through employment in government, industry, academia or public practice.
