Can I register late for the November 2026 ICAG examinations, and what is the penalty?
Dates and deadlines
Can I register late for the November 2026 ICAG examinations?
Yes, but only within one week after the regular 16 October 2026 deadline, and ICAG charges a GH¢400 late-registration penalty.
For a November 2026 examination entry not completed by the regular deadline.
A short exception, not an extended regular window
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; MSL does not replace it with an invented official closing date.
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.
Notice to All Students — November 2026 CA Professional Examinations says ‘within one week after the deadline’. MSL preserves that wording and does not present an inferred calendar date as though ICAG printed 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.
