SOCIETY OF ACCOUNTANTS.
ANNUAL MEETING. AUCKLAND, August 27. The annual meeting of the New Zealand Society of Accountants was held to-day. The report stated that the membership stood at 1820. The society had decided to provide for the passing of the matriculation examination as an entrance to the society after 1931. The accountant’s preliminary examination had no doubt served its purpose as it had enabled many persons who, by reason of war service and other causes were unable to take a full matriculation course to sit for the professional course. The necessity for the lesser examination had now disappeared, and it had become necessary to bring the standard of examination to the very highest point. The election of council members resulted as follows: Messrs A. M. Seamen (Auckland), W. H. Irvine (Poverty Bay), (Hugh Baily (Taranaki), T. Anton (Wellington), W. E. Best (Canterbury), and James Hogg (Otago). .The only contested district was Wellington, from the representation of which Mr C. M. Bowden retired owing to his transfer from Wellington.
