ISCA Members - A Trusted Mark of Excellence

As members of the national accountancy body – the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants, ISCA members are trusted accountancy professionals who embody professionalism, expertise and integrity.

All ISCA members must abide by the ISCA Code of Professional Conduct and Ethics, as well as the new Ethics Pronouncement 200 which sets out requirements on anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism. Members are subject to ISCA’s investigation and disciplinary process if a complaint is filed against them.
ISCA members are often entrusted with key positions in organisations. This is because the skills and knowledge, as well as the hallmark traits of integrity, ethics and professionalism they possess as chartered accountants make them the prime candidate for leadership positions.
