No smart accountant is going to buy or sell a business without knowing all the facts, unless the President and council of ICAEW thinks we CA are not that smart and can ramped the merger up our arse.<br /><br />If you check this and other site, all I hear is members will vote against the consolidation!!!!!<br /><br />What is it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611129.post-1110390713254890642005-03-09T17:51:00.000+00:002005-03-09T17:51:00.000+00:00The War Song of Dinas Vawr

It was England & Wales for the English and Welsh and those who came here to train. There are many many excellent accountants of different qualification, background and training but excellent Institutes are rare indeed.
