ICAEW job cuts coming

ICAEW is looking to make redundancies, with 147 staff members recently being told their jobs are “at risk”.

The cost cut come as part of a major reconstruction at the institute, ahead of a possible merger with CIPFA.

While some jobs are going, the ICAEW is planning to create 100 new positions, and the institute is hoping some of the at-risk staff could be deployed to these.

A big concern is the list of staff whose jobs are at risk was also sent to other employees affected by possible redundancies. The ICAEW has reported itself to the Information Commissioners’ Office (ICO).
