There are no independent audit oversight arrangements in Fiji. The Fiji Institute of Accountants Act of 1971 (FIA Act) authorizes the Fiji Institute of Accountants (FIA) to regulate the audit profession. Audits in Fiji can only be conducted by Chartered Accountants (CAs) who hold a Certificate of Public Practice (CPP). CAs who hold a CPP are required to be members of the FIA and in addition, are required to be registered with the Ministry of Justice.
