The ICAEW Launches The Brexit Hub

The ICAEW has launched the Brexit Hub, to help members prepare for Brexit.

As per a letter sent from Michael Izza to all ICAEW members:

"These are very uncertain times for business. On Brexit, ICAEW has made it clear that Government must make the avoidance of a disorderly exit from the EU its top priority. However, as 31 October approaches, there is a strong possibility that the UK is heading towards a No-Deal Brexit and all that this might entail.

As a professional body, ICAEW wants to help its members prepare for all scenarios. Over the last year, we have brought together on our website a suite of resources which provide expert guidance around the issues that you and your business will face in different situations, including No-Deal. You can find these on the Brexit Hub.

Access Brexit hub

It is now time to step-up the pace. We believe that chartered accountants, both in business and in practice, have a potentially vital role to play in the next month or so, and I am pleased that this view is shared by Government.

ICAEW has received a grant from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy’s Brexit Business Readiness Fund and we are using this to improve the quality and reach of our practical support to members.

We have produced a Brexit checklist summarising the ten key issues that ICAEW members should consider in the lead up to 31 October. These leaflets are being mailed to members now and will also signpost you to further and more detailed resources on our Brexit Hub, including free-to-access webinars. "

I Have Become a BFP

I have just become an ICAEW Business and Finance Professional.

As per the ICAEW the designation BFP is:

"An internationally recognised designation and professional status from ICAEW. 

The BFP letters help professionals demonstrate their knowledge, skills and experience in business and finance, as well as their commitment to ongoing development and to high ethical and technical standards."

The Queen's Champion

The British monarch still has a ‘champion’, to fight anyone who challenges their right to the throne. Queen Elizabeth’s current champion is a 64-year-old chartered accountant.

Woman Alert! - Professor Spira Nails It

Just opened June issue of @economiamag. Page 14. Strapline at the top of the page. "From the Institute this month: A woman steps up as ICAEW president..." Can you imagine reading "A man steps up as ICAEW president"?

Why Do Women Leave The ICAEW?

Follow and contribute to these threads:

28% of @ICAEW members are women

That took 100 years ….. bloody hell

So by 2118 it'll be 50% 😱😱😱😱😱 https://t.co/DIQwsIKD42

The intake is still fairly equal. What is it that ICAEW (or accountancy careers) aren’t giving women? I had 5 years off accountancy with kids (learning patience and teaching English while living in France) on a reduced membership fee so maternity breaks aren’t the problem.

@DellaHudsonFCA I have always felt it a real rip off that having passed the exams the ICAEW will happily take your qualification & certificate away from you if you stop paying fees (as they did once when I forgot to pay, then charge a few hundred extra admin fee to readmit me!)
