History of the Institute
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) is the world's first professional body of accountants, receiving its Royal Charter in 1854. It was the first to adopt the designation "Chartered Accountant" and the designatory letters "CA".
Royal Charter
The Institute's Royal Charter was reconstituted in 1951 and it provided for the Institute's affairs to be directed and overseen by a ruling Council. The Council is headed by a team of three office bearers and also comprises nineteen electoral area members, two open seat holders, three public interest members and two recently qualified members.
