MEMBERSHIP APPLICATION - 2010
Are you concerned about the narrowness of public choices? Are you concerned about the way organised interests have colonised the public space to advance their narrow interests? Are you concerned about the excesses of insolvency practitioners, audit failures, lack of democracy at work, poverty wages, failures of regulators, government departments and corporate misconduct? Do you wish that someone would challenge the prevailing orthodoxies, disseminate competing views and develop alternative policies?
To facilitate wider dialogue and to give visibility to the issues which are marginalised, the Association for Accountancy & Business Affairs (AABA), a non-profit making company limited by guarantee (company number 3480632) has been registered. Its principal objects are:
(i) to advance the public interest by facilitating critical scrutiny
of
commercial and non-commercial organisations inter alia companies,
partnerships,
sole traders, public bodies, local authorities, charities, non-profit
making
organisations and any other form of commercial or non-commercial
organisation;
(ii) to facilitate critical scrutiny of professional bodies, regulatory
bodies,
employer organisations, employee organisations, government departments
and
business organisations;
(iii) to campaign for such reforms as will help to secure greater
openness and democracy,
protect and further the rights of stakeholders and to make disclosures
where
necessary;
(iv) to engage in education and research to further public awareness of
the
workings, the social, political and the economic role of accountancy
and
business organisations.
AABA is an independent organisation. It is not an advisory body. It
is not a
commercial organisation and does not seek any commercial sponsorship.
It is
devoted to broadening public choices. It will publish pamphlets and
papers to
advance alternative analysis and public policy reforms. It is funded
entirely
from donations, subscriptions and the sale of publications. Help us to
make the
world a better place. Please help us by making a generous
