In this first edition of ‘Keeping account’, Baker Tilly International’s CEO Francesca Lagerberg speaks to Peter Wyman. Peter was recently appointed Chair of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales and was a former Senior Partner at PwC in the UK.

Their wide-ranging discussion covers how the accountancy profession can continue to stay relevant, what made Peter decide to become an accountant and why it’s a career that remains an appealing option, the increasing attractiveness of the sector to external investors, and whether the UK accounting bodies will ever merge.
