The legacy of the Society that dates back to 1870 as the oldest District Society in the UK and a founder of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales (ICAEW).
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.
In 1980, when the Institute was celebrating its own Centenary, the four Founding Societies’ Centenary Award was initiated, which is presented annually to the member of the Institute who has distinguished in any field. The dinner at which this prize is presented was initially held in rotation by Liverpool, London, Manchester and Sheffield, but latterly the Award (now restyled as the ICAEW Award for Outstanding Achievement) has been presented at an |CAEW Dinner in London.
