Member Fees

Member fees cover the period April 1 to March 31 and are invoiced annually in March. Fee payment deadline (without penalty) is May 31 of each year. Your fee invoice may be paid by cheque, money order or online through the ICAA secure portal.

Queries may be directed to the ICAA Accounting department.

Fee reductions

You are considered to be eligible for a reduction in annual fees if you do not anticipate being gainfully employed for the April 1 to March 31 membership year, such that active earnings from all types of employment or business will not exceed $30,000. Please note, “active earnings” includes all earnings from employment, business, professional corporations and directors fees, but excludes investment or pension income.

Reductions are applied solely to ICAA & CICA membership fees. You are still required to pay all other Institute fees, including professional corporation, public accounting firm, specialist and other fees that relate to your circumstances and activities. You’ll need to contact the Institute should your financial circumstances change, such that you exceed $30,000 in active earnings during the membership year.

For more information on fee reductions, contact Registrations staff at registrations@icaa.ab.ca.
