It's nice to know that despite my wife's accusations I'm not the only one!<BR/><BR/>I agree with you about the logos.<BR/><BR/>Now, to start an arguement (or hopefully a debate)I should like to publish the following viewpoint. I think it is a good reason for not merging, what do others think?:<BR/><BR/>Surely as the only non-audit body it better for the profession for CIMA not to merge. Theoretically, any CIMA statement an audit should come from a point of view of "we're not auditors, we have nothing to gain from X, Y, Z." Even if CIMA agree with the rest at least they are "independant".<BR/><BR/>Views please (without being personal or decrying other bodies).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611129.post-1123570276589806002005-08-09T07:51:00.000+01:002005-08-09T07:51:00.000+01:00Anom #1,Re being "pedantic" don't worry; we are ac...Anom #1,<BR/><BR/>Re being "pedantic" don't worry; we are accountants, it is our job to be pedantic:)<BR/><BR/>Fair play to you, technically they are "sitting on the fence".<BR/><BR/>However, as far as we the members are told, the vote in October is only for CIPFA. Therefore, CIPFA should not have the CIMA logo on their site.<BR/><BR/>KenKen Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568488818950912374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9611129.post-1123542337602831992005-08-09T00:05:00.000+01:002005-08-09T00:05:00.000+01:00After reading the last topic my interpretation is:...After reading the last topic my interpretation is:<BR/><BR/>CIMA are not even slightly bright but they do not believe ICAEW,<BR/><BR/>CIPPFA are thick as two short planks and they do believe ICAEW.<BR/><BR/>Fool me once shame on you.
