there's a few ways to being an MIA member, actually, 3 ways.

1. Professional Qualification, upon membership of the respective regulated supervisory bodies (ACCA/ICAEW/CIMA etc), can apply for MIA membership.

2. Sit for MIA exams, 4 papers (so I was told), and get ur membership.

3. Local Uni and work for the few years to get ur membership.

well, not exactly. at least not in our country. MIA is pretty much compulsory in order to APPLY for your license to set up a practice (subject to interviewing by panel, i was told).

and MIA membership for signing off documents etc locally.
