Some years ago, the BBC ran a commercial with John Cleese extolling the value of the licence fee under the line ''What has the BBC ever given us?” 

What has the BBC ever given us?


I’m often asked a similar question when I travel around, meeting with and talking to members in practice - What am I getting for my membership fee?

To help answer this, we’ve just published our Practice Society Brochure – a guide to what is on offer to practice members. It shows how the Institute’s products and services can help in running practices more effectively, developing staff and addressing some of the needs of the modern day chartered accountant. Essentially, it contains many tips to help make day-to-day working life that little bit easier.

As a membership body, our role is to ensure that we are providing you with the advice and support that you need throughout your professional career. Indeed, before I was employed by the Institute, I was as guilty as others of not appreciating the resources and services that the Institute offered. I’m now a convert though of course I would say that.

So do take the opportunity to reacquaint yourselves with what the Institute has to offer. And, as always do let me know what you think.
