ICAEW committees

We regularly recruit members, and non-members, to join ICAEW committees. These committees provide input into our strategy and at all times ensure ICAEW is there to uphold the public interest and that ICAEW's role as a professional body is maintained.

All significant decisions on regulatory and conduct matters are made by ICAEW regulatory and disciplinary committees. These committees operate independently from ICAEW staff and comprise of a parity of lay and chartered accountants with a lay chair who has a casting vote. This maintains an important balance of technical insight from the chartered accountant members and public interest insight from the lay members.
