Ian Percy: The British Institute: personally speaking

Article Abstract:

Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland VP Ian Percy is in favor of the proposed combination of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland and the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales into the British Institute of Chartered Accountants. Percy states that even though the initial hearings seemed too short, a detailed proposal will be put to the membership in 1989. The functions of education, research, and information technology will probably remain in Scotland because of the ICAS's past superiority in these areas. Adopting the BICA will give the accountants more international influence in light of 1992, and it will maintain chartered accountants' pre-eminence in business. The Scottish representation on a British Institute board will be disproportionate to the total Scottish membership. Percy maintains that the British Institute will have a greater influence on government because it will account for 99% of all company audits.

Stewart Hamilton: The British Institute: personally speaking

Article Abstract:

Stewart Hamilton is opposed to the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland joining the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales in forming a proposed, all-inclusive organization, the British Institute of Chartered Accountants. Hamilton believes that the proposal was pushed upon the membership without adequate debate of feasible alternatives. The Scottish institute has a reputation of superior training for young accountants which Hamilton feels will be compromised by a merger. Maintaining independence should not raise the membership fees significantly. Hamilton maintains that the two possible alternatives are remaining completely independent, or entering into joint activity without forming a British Institute.

Ian Percy

Article Abstract:

Grant Thornton (London) senior partner Ian Percy was selected as the new President of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) for the 1990-91 term. Percy hopes that the ICAS's Strategy Review will make the ICAS the preeminent body promoting accounting education by the end of the decade. He hopes that the Strategy Review will also promote the view that the ICAS is the most practical body in promoting sound financial reporting practices. Changes in the ICAS that are imminent include the downsizing of committees and a greater reliance on working parties, implementing a Financial Reporting, Audit and Legislation Board, and involving neglected members in the affairs of the ICAS.
