ABSTRACT
A VERY important debate took place at a recent joint meeting of the Manchester Society of Chartered Accountants and the Manchester Students’ Society, when the present position of accountancy in view of recent legal decisions was fully and most ably discussed. A report of the proceedings duly appeared in our issue of the 21st ult. The general question is of such paramount importance in the interests of the profession that it is most desirable that we should supplement the discussion which then took place with a few remarks upon the subject, not so much in order to note any impressions that we may have arrived at from our perusal of the report, but with a view to further emphasising the gravity of the questions at issue, with the object, if possible, of inciting further correspondence upon the subject in these columns.
