The policy and public affairs team is responsible for promoting ICAEW's reputation, corporate goals and strategy.
The team communicates with policy makers at national and regional level to promote and advance ICAEW’s work. We draw on the experience of our members and our technical expertise to develop policy in the public interest, which benefits the economy and protects the integrity of the accountancy profession.
