<p><p>It makes a lot of sense and will remove any bias and differential treatment or preference that we so often see.</p>
<p>Professional bodies have their place but professional unification can only come about with a registration board. I originally qualified with the then Public Accountants Registration Board [PARB] of NSW and if you were a Chartered Accountant you still had pt have PARB registration.</p>
