Pride and professionalism
Article Abstract:
Keith Woodley, the new president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, has been an active member of the organization since the 1980s. He has quickly risen through the association's hierarchy, serving as vice-chairman of the Practice Regulation Directorate, chairman of working parties that tackled such issues as SSAP 6 'Extraordinary Items and Prior Year Adjustments' and the regulation of auditors in the Companies Act 1989, chairman of the Business Law Committee, and vice president of the Institute itself. As president, the 33-year veteran of Deloitte Haskins & Sells plans to continue the process of rationalization that the Institute has been undergoing and to provide relevant services to its members. Those who know Woodley well are confident that he will do an excellent job as the Institute's president.

With the public interest at heart
Article Abstract:
Ian McNeil has been selected as the new president of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales for the 1991-92 term. McNeil, son of 1965-66 Institute Pres Robert McNeil, is a partner of Moores Rowland. McNeil believes that the major role of the Institute is to help accountants serve their clients and businesses. McNeil wants to ensure that the Institute always is perceived as acting in the public interest. McNeil also believes that the accounting profession should present itself as one profession, but feels that a formal integration of the various accountancy organizations cannot be realized in the short-term.
