THE Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI) has invited comments on a consultation paper on the future regulation of the accountancy profession, specifically on the issue of an independent review board. A range of interested parties are to be consulted on proposals which have been developed by a working party drawn from the ICAI and six accountancy bodies in Britain. The role of the board is to ensure that the systems of regulation and discipline within the profession serve the public interest by maintaining the required standards of professional work.
