Best Transformational Project Award 2021

Debuting a digital exam platform to the time-honored establishment of Chartered Accountants Ireland was nothing short of a monumental task, but Cirrus did not shy away from the challenge.
Faced with the rising costs of testing centers and the fast-paced demands of a world going digital, Chartered Accountants Ireland knew they needed to make an enterprising decision to transform their institution. CAI is a prestigious organisation founded in 1888 and is the third oldest accountancy body in the world, dating back to before the Irish republic. They were traditional in the way they approached assessments, paper was always the way exams were taken.
Cirrus signed the contract with the Chartered Accountants in January 2019, with the deadline of delivering their first exams at the end of March, with the additional need to develop two bespoke question types for them. Cirrus has never backed down from a challenge and started immediately with gathering a team of experts for CAI. Cirrus understood that there was much at stake for CAI, both reputational and economic, and therefore when successfully implemented it could mean the complete metamorphosis from old tradition to the digital age.
