ABSTRACT
Having opened the Congress with services at Westminster, the remaining functions may be divided broadly into those of a social and those of an educational nature. Accountants must endeavour to apply sound and impartial judgment to such issues and not to be influenced by political considerations one way or the other. The demand comes for professional services and also for the supply of our members for government, industrial and financial appointments. It is the privilege of the profession to supply members for these specialised demands, and in turn to benefit from the research and professional skill which they promote in those surroundings. One of the main objectives of a Congress such as this is to stimulate the search for an even higher technique in all branches of the accountant’s work.
