Provisional membership with the Samoa Institute of Accountants is designed for aspiring accounting professionals who are ready to begin their journey towards the Chartered Accountant designation. It provides a structured pathway that connects you to the profession while you complete the Institute's CA Professional Program.

As a Provisional Member, you become part of the Institute's professional community from day one, gaining access to the member network, exclusive discounts, and professional development resources that support your growth throughout your studies. This membership bridges the gap between education and full professional standing, giving you a sense of belonging and accountability as you work towards your qualification.

Provisional members have up to four years to complete the CA Program, which includes prescribed education subjects and relevant practical experience. Membership remains active as long as fees are paid and you are currently registered in the CA Program for that year, creating a clear structure that encourages timely progression.

While Provisional Members do not hold voting or public practice rights, this membership is an investment in your future — positioning you within the profession and setting you on a clear path to becoming a fully qualified Chartered Accountant with the Samoa Institute of Accountants.
