Event summary
ICAS maintains public confidence in the accountancy profession by promoting the highest professional and ethical standards. One way we achieve this is through regulation that is rigorous but fair. The ICAS Investigation Committee is responsible for investigating and assessing complaints made to ICAS about its Members, Firms, Students or Affiliates. The Committee is supported by employees in the Investigations Team, including solicitors and CAs.
