ACCA Poaches ICAEW Members

Accountancy Age reports that John Brace, president of ACCA, has cheekily written to practitioners advertising its "direct admission to membership route for chartered accountants".

Brace told Accountancy Age that ACCA was appealing to members of the ICAEW who may have become "disaffected" by the merger.

This is further proof that the merger proposal is in fact highly unpopular.
