Why should I choose an ACIE member as my IE?

Choosing an ACIE member gives you the reassurance of working with someone who:


  • Is part of national network, with access to regular updates on practice and the backing of our technical helpline
  • Has access to our ‘IE Workbook” - a step by step guide to carrying out an examination
  • Has demonstrated a commitment to good practice by joining ACIE
  • In the case of Associates and Fellows, someone who has had their work scrutinised and validated by ACIE
  • Is encouraged to maintain their professional development by accessing our training events and national conferences. CPD is compulsory for full members
  • Can ensure that your funders and supporters can be presented with accounts that have been professionally examined.

You can find additional advice on choosing an IE from the Charity Commission's Guidance CC31 available on their website
