It was during a family sojourn to the seaside town of Pescara, Italy, Rob DeDominicis first laid eyes on what would become the harbinger of his future. Andrew McKean writes.
It makes a lot of sense and will remove any bias and differential treatment or preference that we so often see.
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.
It got abolished and there was no replacement so we regularly see some sort of contest between CA, CPA and IPA, not dissimilar to what one sees 'occasionally' within the FP profession.
