Today, The Accountant is published monthly and reports on a range of topics, including changes in accounting standards, corporate reporting, audit quality, staff shortages, technology, IFRS, succession planning, tax and auditor liability.
As the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales explains in its library database, Gee didn't want the magazine to be affiliated with any professional body, although in 1890 ICAEW's council encouraged its members to subscribe and submit articles for publication.
“The column 'Roll of Honour' listed individuals who were missing, killed in action, wounded, or who had been awarded medals.
The column 'News from the front' included details of individuals who had received commissions, were awarded medals, or were recognized for their bravery.
In addition to this, a league table of the 'Top 20 World's largest professional accountancy bodies by membership' was published.
