You sure about that? Fucking hefty fees for ACA, that’s not good news, despite the recession-friendly 5% reduction that was advised the other day. A BIK might reduce their membership considerably. No way everyone will retain their membership if they’re not in practice.
Yeah. We just got an email about it in work. I heard it from a couple of mates as well.
The intention of highlighting it though was more to make fellow accountants and tax specialists aware of the situation so that they can beware of it in their clients and note any issues of non compliance.
Fook that. I haven’t joined since finishing training in Sept 2007. And I won’t be now. Hardly need membership of some organisation to prove I’m savage at accountancy. Quick, somebody give me a debit and a credit.
Is anyone attending the annual Leinster Society Christmas Luncheon on Friday, 9th December? Entertainment is being provided by top notch comedian Colm Murphy whose TV credits include The Blizzard of Odd and The Panel.
Peter Robinson addressed Leinster Society members earlier this week in The Four Seasons Hotel. Security was very tight and members had to bring their passports with them for checking ahead of the event. Mr Robinson described cutting the North’s corporate tax rate to 10% as his administration’s ‘top priority’.
I can confirm that I won’t be attending this prestigious event Bandage. [quote=“Bandage, post: 447935”]

I’d very much like to attend this as it has traditionally been a decent session. I need to visit Dublin on business before year-end and will endeavor to make this luncheon a part of my trip for sure.
28 guest reading this right now - the Chartered Accountant threads really reel them in.
I’m sure it’ll be a crazy affair.
Like the time at the 2009 bash when Gordon got soup on his tie.
Mad, mad carry on. Crazy accountants.

Ah that was classic.

[/quote]Who could ever forget the night that an accountant had his ear bitten off by another accountant at an eminent accountancy firm’s Christmas party. These guys are beasts when they get out of the office.
Was that KPMG?
I know they put a stop to the big firmwide Christmas party after 2 partners came to blows at it in front of a few other companies.
Just received this email.

Between the new app and the sensational 125th anniversary edition of Accountancy Ireland magazine, it’s been a very exciting few days for Ireland’s most respected, thriving and fastest growing profession.
There’s also an article written by a bird with the surname “Coddledick” in this month’s issue.
They must’ve only sent it out to the lower tier firms today. We got that email on Monday.
Maybe they sent them out to the newer qualified first and then to those of us more experienced later.
Nasty and mean spirited.
I think farmerinthecity[/USER] completely misjudged the tone of this forum with that unsolicited attack on [USER=11]Appendage. We’re all just trying to get along here. So what if the guy took 10 years to pass his accountancy exams.
Do you guys not have a time limit?
Sounds all a bit like one of those Certs you buy over the interweb
