Key points
Applicants must satisfy the prescribed qualification and suitability conditions. Supporting evidence depends on the professional or experience route; ACRA verifies registered public accountants directly. The stated fee is S$200 for two years and is not refundable. Most applications are processed within 30 working days, although further review can take longer.
Planning your next steps
Approval alone does not activate all client filings. The RQI must be appointed, employed or engaged by a CSP, or be a registered CSP, and complete the relevant appointment endorsement. The CSP must add its clients. Renew before expiry: otherwise existing CSP appointments are withdrawn and fresh RQI registration is required.
