The Institute of Certified Public Accountants (Israel) is the sole professional organization responsible for setting the standards, norms, and ethical guidelines for the accounting profession in Israel. The non-profit company is based in Tel Aviv, Israel. It serves over 15,000 members by providing professional information, continuous education, dispute resolution, and advocacy. The institute offers resources such as a digital professional library, professional publications, podcasts, and updates on auditing and international financial reporting standards (IFRS). It organizes conferences, workshops, and seminars to promote professional development and community engagement. The "director accountants" program maintains a digital database of certified accountants interested in serving on Israeli company boards to enhance corporate governance through financial expertise. The institute also supports certification and ongoing education for specialized roles like senior payroll accountants, requiring participation in annual seminars to maintain credentials. Additional member benefits include a job placement center, insurance services, arbitration and mediation, and access to a discount program. The institute’s governance structure includes branches, a central committee, an ethics committee, and a disciplinary court to ensure adherence to professional standards.
