Basseterre, November 17, 2004 - The Institute of Chartered Accountants
of the Eastern Caribbean (ICAEC) has appointed its First Council. The election
of officers took place during the Institute’s inaugural meeting held at the ECCB
Headquarters.
Mr. Anthony Atkinson of St Lucia was appointed President and Mr. Ervin Southwell
of Antigua and Barbuda Vice President. Mrs. Marcella Lanns-Monish of St Kitts
and Nevis was elected as the Treasurer and Mr. Frank Myers of St Lucia as the
Secretary. The ECCB’s representative is Mr. James Simpson.
Launched in June 2004, the ICAEC was established as the supervisory and
regulatory body for the accounting profession in the ECCU. It will provide for
greater coherence and quality in the structure and organization of the
accounting profession, and will seek to enforce high standards of professional
practice. The ICAEC will establish a membership structure with clear categories
and appropriate designations, including a category for persons who are competent
to conduct financial statement audits.
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of the Eastern Caribbean will be
headquartered in St Lucia. All existing Institutes in the OECS will function as
the branches of the ICAEC.
