Chartered Accountants (CAs) are professional accountants who have completed the necessary education, training, and certification to earn the title of "Chartered Accountant." They are recognized as experts in accounting, auditing, taxation, and financial management.

In most countries, including India, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom, becoming a Chartered Accountant involves a combination of academic study, professional training, and passing a rigorous exam. CAs are regulated by professional bodies in their respective countries, such as the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) or the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI).

Chartered Accountants can work in a variety of industries and roles, including public accounting, corporate finance, government, and academia. They are often called upon to provide financial advice, auditing services, and tax planning to individuals and organizations.
