Tony Surridge invited to first Presidential Dinner hosted by the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA)

Tony Surridge Online was in guest attendance at the first Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA) presidential dinner, held on 20th April 2010. The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) was the venue host, kindly offering the IFA use of their prestigious headquarters building in London – 1 Moorgate Place. IFA President, Professor David Hunt, welcomed everybody and promoted an evening of friendship and new alliances, before introducing his guest speaker, Angela Knight (CBE) – Chief Executive of the British Bankers Association. Angela offered her experience and views on the banking industry, the turbulent times just gone, and the expectations and goals ahead.

The black-tie dinner was superb (praise goes out to the ICAEW staff on hand that night), and the evening offered great opportunity for various IFA accounting council members, institutes, accounting governing bodies, and leading educational providers alike to chat, network, build relationships, and generally discuss the future of things to come.
