Deity business at ICAS
In TS’ opinion, institutes have always been held in high regard - usually by themselves - but a sharp little birdie revealed that ICAS got the ultimate thumbs up from one set of visitors. Apparently Chinese book balancers made a visit to the Edinburgh HQ a priority, describing it as ‘a holy place’.
As the world’s first professional body of accountants, which received its Royal Charter in 1854, ICAS deserves some credit, but does this mean the sick will arrive at the institute’s gates in hope of having their maladies cured? Will the blind be able to see and the crippled walk again?

I am somewhat surprised at the questions being asked at the end of the article in TS. Members of ICAS have always helped people to see their affairs more clearly and to ease those affected by crippling tax burdens.
Anyway we always welcome visitors, especially our Chinese colleagues who are presumably more used to treatment by accapuncture!

Very good Munro. Only CAs can be funny and do accounting stuff, TS tends to find. Although not necessarily at the same time...the accountants that is.
