The JSCCA was formed in 1974, replacing the earlier Jersey Association of Practising Accountants formed in 1954.
The new body embraced Certified accountants with Chartered professionals, and those persons not yet, or who had ceased to be in practice. Not everyone was supportive of the uniting of Chartered members with their future Certified colleagues. However a majority vote carried the proposition and the first AGM recorded a total membership of 118.
The original objects of the Society remain, being:
- to encourage co-operation between members, and to stimulate the interest and participation of members in matters concerning the accounting profession;
- to provide a forum for discussion on matters of mutual interest and to provide a medium for expression of professional opinion on matters of public interest;
- to communicate with the Jersey authorities and other professional bodies; and
- to promote high standards of professional conduct.
Our Presidential Roll Call is an impressive list of well-known industry shapers from past and present, generations of leaders and innovative thinkers who can be linked with various periods of challenge, change and success in the islands’ economic development.
