The background to our future – our aims as a charity.

The Liverpool Society of Chartered Accountants was the first District Society and we have been at the heart of the accountancy profession since we were founded in 1870. As one of the four founding Societies of the ICAEW we remain very relevant in today’s world and have a very close engagement with all our local members. 

Our membership covers the whole north-west region from Southport in the north, through Liverpool City Region and Chester and North Wales.

However, recent changes within the ICAEW have meant that the Institute has taken more direct administrative control over certain networking matters and the communication of its broader policy and has created a separate body called ICAEW Liverpool Network.

However, without doubt, the LSCA remains in place as the custodian of the historical legacy and is the body most associated as representing the interests of Chartered Accountants in our region, and at grassroots level, and work very closely with all the other local professional bodies.

We still have a vibrant committee, President, Deputy and Vice, and will retain our position as part of the wider Liverpool business community.

The LSCA is in the process of applying to the Charity Commission and hopes that this will be accepted early in 2025, and we will then continue to be the leading representative for the future of young people who wish to have support in becoming a Chartered Accountant.

Our aims will be to engage with young people who are beginning their careers or educational paths to become Chartered Accountants, and we will work closely to help them achieve these goals with financial and other support.

We have close ties with all the key educational establishments and Universities in the region and award annual prizes recognising achievement.

We want to take this support even further and help those young people who need some financial contribution at this early stage.

We shall soon be letting our members know how they can become involved in this ground breaking development for the Society and one that we hope reflects the initiative and vision of 1870 and a forward thinking Society for 2024 and beyond..
