However, I should have thought that only the first institute formed would have the right to call itself The ICA (with no geographic tag). The Institute who could do that is ICAS, and they have strong objections,so why aren't your leaders listening?<BR/><BR/><BR/>Looking at this as an outsider I see an Institute that is saying that it is the best but is rapidly becoming regarded as a joke because of the way this is being handled. This whole episode has made ICAEW look clueless (although I am sure that members will tell me it is only your council that is clueless). <BR/><BR/>The whole episode reminds me of the last days of the Tory Government where everyone but them could see they were doomed. It seems to me that when the merger inevitably fails you are going to have to do what Britain did and get a whole new set of leaders.<BR/><BR/>Ken for President and the Geoff Wooller for VP?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611129.post-1129143513880787712005-10-12T19:58:00.000+01:002005-10-12T19:58:00.000+01:00One cannot be a global leader by just changing one...One cannot be a global leader by just changing ones name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611129.post-1129142248294820772005-10-12T19:37:00.000+01:002005-10-12T19:37:00.000+01:00Obviously the Council feel that a geographical nam...Obviously the Council feel that a geographical name hinders it's desire to be seen as a global leader.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611129.post-1129141602850344502005-10-12T19:26:00.000+01:002005-10-12T19:26:00.000+01:00Dropping the E&W is part of our Council's strategy...Dropping the E&W is part of our Council's strategy of becomming the WORLDS leading force in GLOBAL accountancy theory and GLOBAL practice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611129.post-1129140805690414832005-10-12T19:13:00.000+01:002005-10-12T19:13:00.000+01:00If not to try to change the name would invalidate ...If not to try to change the name would invalidate the voting, then I agree.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, I do have objections.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611129.post-1129135503730656682005-10-12T17:45:00.000+01:002005-10-12T17:45:00.000+01:00Sorry, that should have been:International Complia...Sorry, that should have been:<BR/><BR/>International Compliance Association (ICA).<BR/><BR/>Ken, my resignation will be on your desk tomorrow.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611129.post-1129133899417039172005-10-12T17:18:00.000+01:002005-10-12T17:18:00.000+01:00The International Compliance Organisation which is...The International Compliance Organisation which is concerned with countering money laundering already uses the designatory letters MICA.<BR/><BR/>It would seem likely that some ICAEW members will also belong to that organisation.
