The mystery of the missing members: the first 600 chartered accountants in England and Wales

Accounting History Review, 2004, vol. 14, issue 1, 29-52

Abstract: There are a number of factual errors within the authoritative literature on the history of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and of its five founder bodies. The aim of this article is to outline some of these errors, explain how and why they arose, and attempt to correct them. Its primary concern is to establish the membership of these early professional accountancy bodies at the time of the granting of a royal charter in May 1880.
