If you are an ICAEW member and gained audit experience whilst you were a student qualifying within a registered auditor authorised to offer adequate audit training, prior to 2010, then it is possible that you will have previously submitted your audit experience to us with your training records, and thus have been granted the AQ automatically.

Please note - Audit experience gained during your training should have been documented with feedback and approval from the Authorised Individual and completed on a timely basis. It is no longer permissible to construct records retrospectively and therefore any audit experience gained during training should have been submitted to ICAEW within six months of the end of your training agreement to be permissible towards the AQ.

Post qualification experience can be counted for a period of 12 months immediately following your training agreement, after which any post qualification experience must be after you have been admitted to membership.
