53% of ICAEW members are against the proposed merger with CIPFA, according to the poll conducted by Accountancy Age.
Accountancy Age also confirm the story featured on this site four days ago ("£1.4M Wasted"), that the cost of the merger campaign has been at least £1.4M.
Money well spent!
Ken,
ReplyDeletePresident, Ian Morris, says "only £11 per member" but was that mere £11 his to fritter. Spam fritter.
Other comments - please
With 53% against, 39% against and 8% undecided there is no way the Council will win.
ReplyDeleteWe have won the day, even though we had miniscule funds.
Anon 12.23,
ReplyDeleteWith the summary you have just given you have confirmed my suspicions about ICAEW!!!
Or did you mean to type 39% for?
Yours (quite) rudely,
Anon.
From what I have seen from my peer group (newly qualified), it is more like 92% against (53 + 39) and 8% who refused to comment.
ReplyDeleteKamran,
ReplyDeleteNice to see you're back and I totally agree with your every word.
Tomorrow (25 October) will be a historic day for our Institute.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know what is the quickest and most reliable way of getting the result and any related commentary.
I saw a reference somewhere that the battles of Agincourt (1415) and Balaclava (1854) took place on 25th October.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the poll was wrong then. Most ACAs who voted were in favour, if not quite enough.
ReplyDeleteStill, it saves CIMA money as we won't have to vote now.
