To practice in Fiji, lawyers are required to obtain practicing certificates from the Chief Registrar in the Judicial Department. Accountants are also required to obtain membership with the Fiji Institute of Accountants (FIA). The FIA recognizes 18 overseas accounting institutes, including the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, and may consider membership in the FIA.
Professional services such as architecture, engineering, medical and dental practitioners, and audio-visual agents need to be certified and licensed by their respective Registration Boards and Councils.
