Unsurprisingly of those members of the ICAEW that could be bothered to vote, a significant percentage (almost 20%) voted against an increase in the annual subscriptions.
Accountancy Age reports that of the nearly 8,000 members that voted, 19.8% voted against an increase.
The ICAEW has over 138,000 members worldwide, the turnout of less than 6% is a disgrace and shows an alarming disconnect between the bunker in Moorgate and the membership who live and work in the real world.
Based on the low turnout and (relatively) high vote against an increase in subscriptions, the ICAEW will have its work cut out for it if it is forced to fill the £40M black hole in the pension scheme by increasing subscriptions again!
