step 3: Verification of application

Your application and information supplied will take approximately 10 to 15 working days to verify. Upon completion, we will send you an email advising you of your assessment outcome.

Step 4: Advance to CPA status

To attain the CPA designation, eligible CA Sri Lanka members will need to successfully complete Ethics and Governance within two years from the date of admission as an Associate member.
