Business advisory groups

What we do

Members volunteer their time to serve on these groups and play an important role in helping ICAEW remain informed, influential and responsive to the issues affecting business and the profession.

Businesses operate in an increasingly complex and fast-changing environment. As a professional body working in the public interest, ICAEW engages with government, policymakers and other stakeholders on matters that affect businesses, the economy and chartered accountants. The insights provided by our Business advisory groups are an important part of this work.

The experience and expertise that members bring helps ICAEW develop informed policy positions, contribute to public debate and provide practical insight on a wide range of business issues. This helps ensure that our work reflects real-world challenges and opportunities facing businesses and the profession.
