Giving an Account: Life Histories of Four CAs

Edited by Stephen Walker


ICAS is proud of being the oldest accountancy body in the world and of being able to trace its history back for more than 150 years. Yet it is still the case that some senior members of ICAS, whose past activities have helped shape our profession and the business environment in which we now operate, have personal memories that cover half or more of the professions lifetime. We are fortunate indeed that some of them have been willing to share these recollections, giving a series of insights from their experiences and reminiscences.

Their recollections are drawn from memory and so are inevitably subjective and incomplete, but the interviews do not pretend to represent a complete picture of the business or professional environment that they describe. Instead they are intended to provide a living record of the background and views of past leaders of our profession, highlighting determinative events and influences that have influenced the way the profession and business practice has developed, and their own role in some of them.

The style of the interviews varies, reflecting in part the style of interviewers and in part the reactions of the individuals concerned.It is our hope that, taken together, the reader will gain a variety of insights, some profound and some amusing, into the development of accountancy and related commercial activity.

The Interviewees are: Professor William T Baxter; Professor David Flint; Sir Ian Morrow and Sir John Shaw
