The Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Uganda (ICPAU) has released its 2026 register of licensed accounting firms and practising accountants authorised to offer professional accountancy services in Uganda.
The register lists 275 licensed firms, reflecting a 4 percent increase from 2025 and indicating continued growth in the accountancy profession.
In line with the Accountants Act Cap. 294, ICPAU reiterated that it is unlawful for any individual or firm to provide accountancy services without a valid Certificate of Practice or firm licence. Regulated services include financial reporting, audit and assurance, tax advisory, financial and cash flow management, risk management, transaction services, restructuring and insolvency, and general business advisory.
ICPAU Director of Standards and Regulation, Charles Lutimba, cautioned the public against engaging unlicensed practitioners, particularly those offering audit services at a lower cost.
He noted that although such services may seem affordable, they often compromise quality and credibility. “Audit services from unlicensed individuals may appear cheaper but in the long run, they are detrimental to the business, as such books of accounts are not only illegitimate, but also lack verifiable audit quality,” Lutimba said.
ICPAU maintains a rigorous licensing framework that assesses firms on professional competence, compliance with standards, financial integrity, and the character of practitioners. Licensed firms are also subjected to periodic quality reviews to ensure adherence to International Standards on Auditing.
