57. Chartered Accountants host accountants

The Chartered Accountants of England and Wales held a dinner for Masters and Clerks’ connected with accountancy at their Hall (right) on 20 January. A strange thing to want to do but a very successful evening. I suppose as in all walks of life, accountants and financial advisers make a big contribution and certainly so in the organisation of Livery life, as set out by the Master. Alderman and Sheriff Charles Bowman, a chartered accountant, then spoke about the need to rebuild trust in City institutions and the steps being taken to do that. My thanks go to Master Mark Spofford for a thought-provoking evening.
