Appeal Authority Criticised
(From Our Parliamentary Reporter) WELLINGTON. Sept. 23. The suggestion that the New Zealand Society of Accountants Bill had a flaw in it wa made tonight during the second reading debate by Mr M. A. Connelly (Government, Riccarton). Mr Connelly said that the bill differed from procedures laid down by other reputable professional societies in that the appeal authority was appointed entirely within the society itself.
The appeal authority consisted of officers of the society, a member of the society, and a solicitor appointed by the council of the society, said Mr Connelly. “The society is in effect an appeal authority against its own verdict,” said Mr Connelly. “This is not the case with other reputable professional bodies, such as tl medical and legal fraternities, each of which provides for an appeal being heard outside its own association.
