THE Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland has appointed insolvency specialist Bruce Cartwright, a former corporate restructuring partner at PwC, as executive director for policy leadership.
ICAS noted Mr Cartwright brought with him 30 years’ experience from the big four accountancy firm, and that he had headed PwC’s Scottish corporate restructuring practice from 2001 to 2016.
The professional body said that, in the new position, Mr Cartwright would “formulate ICAS’s policy positions and lead its thought leadership activity”.
Anton Colella, chief executive of ICAS, said: “ICAS has a proud reputation for high-impact, evidence-based thought leadership and policy work. The appointment of someone of Bruce’s standing in business, and in the profession, signals strongly our desire to build that reputation.”
ICAS has 21,000 members around the globe.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
