Every industry has unique financial rules, risks, and opportunities. CIBA partners with sector bodies, gives free CPD to bookkeepers, and licenses CAPs as specialists who keep sectors compliant and growing.

Why We Work by Sector 

Every industry fights its own compliance battle

For example, farmers worry about seasonal cashflow. Lawyers about trust accounts. NPOs about deregistration. Artists about royalties.

One mistake can cost not just money, but livelihoods.

That’s why CIBA works sector by sector, training accountants in real rules that matter, giving them the licence to do the work.

License Specialists 
CIBA CBAPs complete a sector short course, earning a licence that positions them as the go-to external accountants for that industry. 

Partnering with CIBA gives your members access to finance professionals who understand their world. It reduces compliance risks, helps avoid penalties, and strengthens members’ ability to withstand tough seasons.
