ABSTRACT
Thomas Lister died on February 26, 1967, at the age of 74. Thomas Lister, who was admitted to membership of The Society of Accountants in Edinburgh, was elected President of The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland at the Annual Meeting of Members held in March 1959. Lister’s interest in the affairs of the Institute did not diminish when he demitted the Presidential office in 1960. Indeed it continued unabated: since then he has served on various Institute Committees. Lister adorned the profession of which he was proud to be a member and in the practice of which he found such pleasure and satisfaction. Outside the sphere of the accountancy profession Thomas Lister included among his activities membership of the Spens Committees which reported on the appropriate levels of remuneration for doctors and dentists under the National Health Service.
