Regulation of ACCA Irish Investment Business Activities 

ACCA relinquished its Approved Professional Body (APB) status under the Irish Investment Intermediaries Act 1995, which meant that ACCA has not issued any Irish Investment Business certificates to members after their authorisations ended on 31 December 2019. 

ACCA members wishing to undertake Irish investment business must seek full authorisation from the Central Bank under the IIA in order to provide investment business services. 

Members who wish to apply for a licence under the IIA are required to follow the Central Bank’s Authorisation Process for retail intermediaries.
