Watch our new video about the lifelong support and services we provide for past and present ICAEW members and their families.
Watch our videoFrom the moment you begin your training, throughout your professional life, and into retirement we're here to help - in all kinds of ways. And we're not just here for past and present ICAEW members, close families can access our services too.
I would not hesitate to recommend CABA's services to others who find themselves needing to change countries or reorganising the way they work.
About 2 years ago, I was about to have our second child - my husband was working as an accountant. Then my husband suddenly became very ill.
Not only did CABA courses change my attitude to my work, they genuinely made me feel better about my life too.
CABA is able to offer support with the 'top up' costs of residential care, in some circumstances. To find out if you or someone you care for is eligible for this support, call us on +44 (0) 1788 556 366.
CABA can’t fund debt repayments, however, we do provide debt advice and we can help you to understand your situation and explore options for you to help manage your debt. We can also help negotiate with creditors over repayments and support you, if required, in some basic legal proceedings. You may still wish to have legal representation.
If you have a question about your legal rights or want to get advice on a legal situation, CABA can provide ACA students, past and present ICAEW members, past and present ICAEW staff and their families with access to free telephone legal advice provided by LawExpress (English and Welsh law). If you're based outside of the UK, CABA can provide access to telephone legal advice in parts of Europe and in Australia. Please contact us for further details.
To access this telephone legal advice contact us. When you get in touch one of our team will ask you what area of law you would like help with and will arrange for you to speak to an experienced adviser from LawExpress over the telephone in as little as 2 hours.
If you would rather not speak to someone over the telephone, you can also access free online legal information covering a wide range of topics using our legal factsheets provided by LawExpress. CABA doesn't provide financial support towards legal costs and cannot represent people legally.
For ICAEW members struggling to pay their subscriptions, we're able to offer financial assistance (means tested based on household income). Whatever your situation, we're always here to offer advice to help you manage your finances.
In 2017, more than 20,000 past and present ICAEW members, ACA students and their families improved their wellbeing with our help.
