Late registration is a short exception
ICAG's Notice to All Students: November 2026 CA Professional Examinations says late registration is accepted only within one week after the regular deadline and attracts a GH¢400 penalty. The notice states the rule in that form and gives no calendar closing date for late registration.
Because the period is short, contact ICAG and complete the process immediately if the regular 16 October deadline has passed. Confirm that the late-registration option is still open in ICAG's system before making plans around it.
The GH¢400 is a penalty for late registration. It does not replace the examination fee for your level and number of papers, and it does not resolve paper-combination or outstanding-exemption requirements.
The notice says ‘within a week after the deadline of registration’ and prints no closing date. Confirm with ICAG that you are still within the week before you rely on it.
If the regular deadline has passed
- Confirm that you are still within the one-week period described by ICAG.
- Check directly that ICAG is accepting the late entry before relying on it.
- Prepare the applicable examination fee as well as the GH¢400 penalty.
- Complete the entry without delay and retain your confirmation.
