    Yes you are. Also consider taking up full membership, you don't have to but by having it you are committing yourself to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) which many employers do look for. Best of luck in your future career.

    @davealucas thanks! I think I'm going to apply to be a full member...ive recently moved into the public sector and my employer is very big on keeping up with internal finance training as well as CPD . It will look great if I can now evidence CPD

    As it happens I am also in the public sector. I have not gone for full chartered status but I am an affiliate member of CIPFA which I received due to my full membership of AAT.

    You you do decide to join CIPFA, you will receive exemptions from certain exams. In my case, I would be exempt from the whole of year one.
