Regulatory Agencies, (Sophistry & Mendacity)

The modern profession of the chartered accountant originated in Scotland in the nineteenth century. Accountants often belonged to the same associations as solicitors, who frequently offered accounting services to their clients. Early modern accounting had similarities to today’s forensic accounting1.

In the United Kingdom, the development of the accountancy profession took place over centuries.
