Assessing the chartered accountant for the future

Article Abstract:

The members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales agreed on a definition of 'the chartered accountant for the future' in the 1993 document 'Chartered Accountant - the Future of Our Qualification.' According to the endorsed definition, this chartered accountant must possess such characteristics as proven ability and intellectual capacity, an understanding of basic accounting principles, technical skills in accountancy, adequate experience in practical situations, and high personal standards. Changes in accounting examinations have been made to facilitate the evaluation of candidates for membership in the Institute according to its definition of the chartered accountant for the future. However, it has been pointed out that professional examinations do not measure all the relevant characteristics of such accountants. Suggestions for overcoming the limitations and risks of examinations are offered.

The PCAOB is unelected and unaccountable to any branch of government, can make rules and impose penalties, is strictly unaccountable, and as such is unconstitutional, as per Mallory Factor, chairman of the anti-tax lobby group.
