    Chartered Accountants & CPA Merger

    The business case was perhaps the ace in the pack. I was disappointed that there wasn't a greater turnout by both Institutes. The referendum comission is running advertising across TV, print and social media encouraging people to vote. Going forward, I think there is a job of work...

    Chartered Accountants & CPA Merger

    I completely agree. The merger has now to deliver for members.(including subscriptions). There also has to be much better engagement with members.

    CPA Ireland and CAI are just accountancy institutes.. Some of the comments made on this thread reminded me of the reform club in around the world in 80 days. I hope CPA Ireland will bring their ethos and high standards over to the CAI

    Chartered Accountants & CPA Merger

    I hope that both institutes come to the right decision today for the future of the profession. I hope than veteran members will indeed consider more younger members. Negativity to other professional institutes achieves nothing. Such ignorance achieves nothing. We are not re-inventing the...

    Chartered Accountants & CPA Merger

    We could also name some former members who did not do the profession or the country many favours. There is also an accountancy educational professional on the CAI social media channels endorsing the merger proposal. I haven't seen any education professional come out against the proposal...

    Chartered Accountants & CPA Merger

    Nonsense. Where did anyone state that CAI wasn't a recognised brand ? We have an opportunity to create the largest professional body on the island I hope we don't mess it up. There is comprehensive information on the institutes website and social media channels. I have confidence in the...

    Again I would encourage you to take a look at the institutes website and social media channels and note the positivity of professional accountancy educators. We need to back the board with regards this proposal. Going on about Chartered Accountants House is like bemoaning spilt milk This is...

    Chartered Accountants & CPA Merger

    We are not reinventing the wheel here. Accountancy institute mergers are not breaking any new ground. Mutual recognition agreements & pooling resources will indeed be a massive benefit.

    I hope you don't mind - but I am going to ignore your comments. Pretty telling of where the no argument is. If anyone is unclear with regards the merger proposal- there is comprehensive information on the institutes website and social media channels. The board, past board members and educators...

    Chartered Accountants & CPA Merger

    In fairness to the board - they comprehensively answered queries and concerns raised in this thread. I would again refer people to the Institute's' social media channels and websites. I put several additional questions myself after the meeting. I got satisfactory explanations. The profession...

    Chartered Accountants & CPA Merger

    I started with the same question -what advantage does it confer on me? I think there is an opportunity to create a better and stronger institute. I am happy enough to support the board of the institute. But it will be up to us all to hold the institute to account. I was impressed with the...

    Holding events in same colleges may be a hint. All accountancy bodies hold information sessions in colleges. All of this was clarified at the town hall meeting that I attended All accountancy institutes have made qualification more flexible. The institute covered all this.

    Chartered Accountants & CPA Merger

    Who does not value "the brand"? It was raised and answered to my satisfaction at the town hall event that I attended. Some may indeed may have completed examinations more recently than others. Some may be nearer retirement than others Some may be more interested in looking at the future of...
