ICAEW Student Council (ISC) is the leading body for students studying the ACA. It brings together student representatives from around the world, providing a voice and a feedback mechanism for you and your thousands of fellow training students.
What does it do?
The student council meets quarterly across the UK and communicates with all areas of ICAEW. The council is often asked to feed back their opinions of recent exams, and often are given first hand information about changes prior to any other students.
In addition the chair also sits on ICAEW’s governing council ensuring students have a voice at the very top of the Institute.

Chair
Kim Kreutle
Being an advocate for inclusivity and supportive networks has significantly influenced my journey, especially as someone transitioning careers. I strongly believe in the importance of welcoming individuals from diverse backgrounds into the ICAEW pathway, regardless of their educational or career status. There are various paths available, and it is never too late to pursue a career in accountancy.
Through my firsthand experiences, I have realised the crucial role that support networks play in navigating academic studies and career progression. My mission is to empower all individuals to pursue their accounting aspirations, breaking free from stereotypes or misconceptions. Let's create an environment where everyone can thrive! Furthermore, I am excited about contributing to the ongoing long-term goals established by previous chairs and vice chairs.

Social mobility, and making sure we include all people from all backgrounds, is really important for me as well. Hearing diverse perspectives will only allow us to generate better ideas to support students, so encouraging that is really important. My goals are quite similar to Kim’s: ensuring all students have a sense of belonging and inclusion within ICAEW, and really feel that they have a sense of identity.
