Passport for member services

Members of any GAA Institute will be entitled to receive the benefits of the GAA Passport for Member Services. This passport will enable professional accountants within the GAA to receive professional support when they are working away from home in another country covered by one of the Alliance bodies. Please note, however, that it does not allow you to use the CA designation in Canada, unless you become a member of the province you are residing in. View further information.
