We organise events for members, ranging from CPD courses to annual dinners, social events and discussion groups, as well as representing the interests of chartered accountants in the district to the wider business community.
ICAEW West Yorkshire and York currently includes a local independent District Society, two active branches – York and Huddersfield and two dormant branches – Bradford and Calderdale. The District Society is one of 22 across the UK. Over the years, district societies, branches and ICAEW have worked closely together to promote the interests of members and the wider aims of the Institute.
Notice is hereby given that a Special General Meeting of members of ICAEW West Yorkshire and York will be held at 18.00 on 28 September.
Formed in 1906 as the Leeds and District Society of Chartered Accountants, in 1934 it became the Leeds, Bradford and District Society, adopting its present title in 1976. The Society's badge incorporates the White Rose of York. WYSCA is the sixth oldest of the District Societies and the first to be formed in the twentieth century. It covers West Yorkshire, North Yorkshire less the Districts of Richmondshire and Scarborough, and that part of the District of Hambleton which is south of Thirsk
The society’s members come from accountancy practices small and large and from a range of business, public sector and Third Sector interests. The district society is deeply engaged in the development of the local economy and regards the promotion of the profession – especially among students – as a crucial part of its work.
It also acts as a link between ICAEW in Moorgate Place and members in the district.
