ICAEW rules – KO?

perhaps more to the point - how many ICAEW members care? And how many of those care enough to make their views known, and if they do what is the chance that the ICAEW will listen or respond?

The issue is simple - does anyone outside the ICAEW care?

BUT reported on Aweb this morning:
"ICAEW name change not an issue
The ICEAW has rebuffed rumours that it has been forced to back down of plans to change its name to the Institute of Chartered Accountants. A spokesman for the institute said that plans to change the name were abandoned once the ICEAW lost the vote on its proposal to merge with CIPFA. "Now that we lost the vote the name change is no longer on the table. The brand is very important to us." he said. He said there were no talks in progress regarding further mergers "

have to say thats not how i recall anstee was reported at the time. it was more like we might have lost this vote but we are pressing ahead, and the name change is still on the table.

Sorry Dennis,

I think you will find that the ICAEW were not listening to the membership but, as said to me by a respected and well known fellow professional, instead were told by the Privy Council that the idea was a non starter.

I would also note that I did not say that this was a humiliation for Eric, but "yet another humiliating defeat for the current leadership of the ICAEW".

I preferred the original Freudian Slip personally ;-)
