The Irish Auditing and Accounting Supervisory Authority has recommended to the Minister for Trade & Commerce, Michael Ahern, that the term 'accountant' should be afforded statutory recognition.

In a statement issued today Minister Ahern indicated he was now referring the issue to the Company Law Review Group for further consideration.

The IAASA are recommending that people should be allowed offer 'accountancy' services like book keeping but unless they are appropriately regulated they would not be entitled to call themselves accountants.

This would mean that entitlement to use the term accountant would be restricted to the membership of the nine prescribed accountancy bodies and those separately registered by the state as auditors.
