What a view...

On site ICAS input was primarily carried out by Mr Colin Sutherland who became an ICAS member as far back as 1956. Colin is also a member of the I nstitute of Chartered Accountants of South Africa and the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Zimbabwe. Colin is a former Professor and Head of Department of Financial Accounting and Auditing at the University of Rhodesia . As an expert in banking and insurance accounting, Colin also carried out similar specialised training for ICAS in Vietnam.

Gueorgui Nikolov , who is a Director with PWC in Bulgaria , worked with Colin throughout the second half of 2007, to help deliver specialised training in financial instruments. Gueorgui and Colins impressive knowledge of the technical subject matter was greatly appreciated by attendees who worked for a range of public institutions including the Ministry of Finance, the National Bank and the Stock Exchange.

This was the stunning view from the Ministry of Finance headquarters, where training was conducted. The building you can see is the Parliament Palace which is the worlds second largest building after the Pentagon.

Colin and Gueorgui in action discussing the issues Europe is facing in attempting to both adopt and implement IFRS.

ICAS helped establish the Chamber of Financial Auditors of Romania who manage the certification and licensing of auditors in Romania . During December training, Neil Wallace met up with the Chamber to discuss potential future collaboration. Neil and Colin were very kindly provided with a tour of the Parliament Palace by Cornelia Stanescu from the Chamber, who is pictured here with Colin.
