Training for chartered accountants does not stop at qualification. Nor is it just limited to technical accounting matters. Ongoing professional development and a focus on ethical issues are essential elements of the modern chartered accountant’s career.
While training has always been seen as important, there is a growing acceptance that more needs to be done to ensure that qualified chartered accountants are not just technically expert, but are also highly focused on ethical issues. Integrity and objectivity, for example, are seen as essential for a professional accountant to work effectively and to the standard expected by the wider public.
