Society of Professional Accountants

The Society was formed in early 1996 by Chairman Peter Mitchell as the ‘Small Practitioners Association’, and in 2003 became The Society of Professional Accountants. It is a wholly independent association of professionally qualified accountants in small practices, which currently represents some 1200 chartered accountants throughout the UK. Our members provide a high quality, personal and professi

onal service at economic cost, and are committed to an on-going programme of technical development. All members must carry appropriate indemnity insurance. SPA’s stated policy is to promote and improve the relationship between members and the ICAEW by providing constructive criticism together with practical proposals for improvements. Further, to provide commentary and proposals to other authorities influencing our practicing environment. SPA has been successfully fighting the corner of the small practitioner for over 18 years. Our reliable information sources and authoritative statements are sought and trusted. SPA continues to make independent representation to government bodies and responds to current issues both within and beyond the ICAEW.
