Empire Building at ACCA

There have been more personnel changes at ACCA. Recent departures include Andrew Harding, ACCA managing director of finance and operations. John Prosser, editor of Accounting & Business, has been replaced by Chris Quick.

The reasons and circumstances of changes have not been explained to ACCA members. There is nothing on the ACCA website ior its latest magazine. There is no mention of any compensation paid to the departing staff. Previous ACCA accounts have always been silent on such matters even when the departing staff received compensation for loss of job. Keeping members in the dark is an old ACCA trait and there are no signs of change even though a new CEO is at the helm.

AABA understands that more departures are on the way. A senior person from the PR Department is on gardening leave.
