The Institute of Accounting Technicians in Ireland (IATI) is the leading accounting technician body in Ireland with over 10,000 members and students.
Established in 1983, IATI prides itself on providing an internationally recognised business qualification and on promoting the highest educational, technical and ethical standards to its members.
The IATI qualification differs from many other academic programmes as it combines professional exams with practical work experience. As members of the Institute, individuals are entitled to put the letters MIATI after their name, seen by many employers as essential when hiring.
IATI is a partner body with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland and an associate member of the International Federation of Accountants. It has offices in Dublin and Belfast and links with local networks throughout Ireland.

The IATI qualification, both full-time and part-time, is available at over 80 colleges throughout the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. These currently include leading private and community colleges, VECs and some Institutes of Technology. A full list is available on www.iati.ie.
