I wish David Furst (the new ICAEW president) and the ICAEW well as they campaign to insert safeguards against new HMRC powers in the finance bill.
I hope that the campaign is assertive and vocal, and that the ICAEW stands up for itself.

Closed Shop
Accountancy Age report that the ICAEW has named three candidates up for election as the institute's vice-president.
David Furst, Dennis Cox and Hilary Lindsay have applied for the role.
The successful candidate serves in the position for a year, before serving as deputy president for the same term, and then president the year after.
Two questions:
1 When were the nomination lists opened, and publicised, to the membership?
2 Why are the members, as a whole, not allowed to vote?
This does really rather resemble a closed shop, hardly the best structure for an organisation that claims that it wishes to be at the forefront of the profession in the 21st century!
