Description and Table of Contents
Description
Accountants started in public practice at least by the end of the 18th century. Initial work focused on bankruptcies, but soon accountants were performing audits and reporting on financial accounts before increasing their range of services into areas such as taxation and management consultancy. During the past 200 years, the structure of accountancy firms has been greatly transformed. This guide provides information on the present location of the archives of firms of chartered accountants in England and Wales, a few of which originated in the late 18th century. It features brief histories of almost 200 firms, together with lists of their surviving records, and includes many of the old local practices which, through merger, now form part of today's major national and international firms. Also included are histories of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales and the professional accountancy bodies which preceded it.
