Zambia institute of Chartered Accountants (ZICA) is the ONLY professional Accountancy Body in Zambia. According to the Accountants Act of 2008, all accountants must be registered with ZICA to practice accountancy in Zambia.
ZICA was introduced under the Accountants Act of 1982 Cap 390 of the laws of Zambia and is managed by 12 members of which 10 are elected at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) by members and 2 are appointed by the minister of finance and National Planning. We are happy to inform you that the Zambia Institute of Chartered Accountants Copperbelt University Chapter (ZICA-CBU) is a student’s association in the School of Business of the Copperbelt University and duly affiliated to the national institute (ZICA). Our prerogative is to be a proverbial bridge between the University’s accountancy students and the national institute, advocating communication and interaction between the two sides. This enables student accountants to obtain ideals the national institute promotes and expects of accountancy professionals even before they become fully-fledged accountants.
Our objective among others is that of appraising student members with current developments in the field of Finance through industrial exposure and indoor seminars by experts in the field of Accountancy and Finance.
