Bruce Cartwright to step down as ICAS CEO

Bruce Cartwright (pictured) has told ICAS Council that he will be stepping down as CEO in April 2026.

Cartwright became CEO at ICAS in March 2018. He is currently also chair of the Global Accounting Alliance (GAA), director of Chartered Accountants Worldwide (CAW), a director of CCAB and a technical adviser to the IFAC board.

He qualified as a CA with PwC in 1989.

Commenting on his announcement, Cartwright said:“After eight years, I feel the time is right for me to move on from my role and pass the baton onto a new CEO. My time as CEO will undoubtedly remain with me as a highlight in my career. It has been both a privilege and an honour to lead ICAS over this period.

“During my time as CEO, ICAS has transformed into a modern, future-facing professional body with a strong strategy and a bright future for it and its 24,000 members. Doing the right thing, acting in the public interest, and bringing ethical leadership firmly to the front of our DNA have allowed us to build this future.”
