Story: Accountancy

Exam timetable, Accountants and Auditors' Association

This elegantly printed timetable gives the details of the qualifying examinations for the Accountants and Auditors' Association. Set up in 1898, the AAA at first did not require its members to sit qualifying exams. However by 1906, when this timetable was produced, the AAA set the same exams as its rival accountancy organisation, the Incorporated Institute of Accountants (IIA).
