Its that time of year when these are due. I have come to pay my AAT subscriptions and if i set up a DD and pay in installments I get a saving of £6. If I set up a DD and pay in installments my ICAEW memebership they charge me £15!
They will be getting a cheque!

Like you said about your AAT subscription, i dont think my ICAEW membership makes me financially better off at the moment, but i worked so hard for it i am not dropping it.

Sounds like my cunnundrum over ACCA membership where I'm practicing under the IFA banner (all within ACCA regulation 8 remit).
How can one just give something like that up after sweating blood for it and succeeding where so many others fell by the wayside.
It almost feels to me as if you owe it to those who failed not to give away what you have achieved.

I came across this thread over on Aweb where others are going through conundrums about their professional memberships.
The gist of it seems to boil down to professional bodies chasing their members for ever more money whilst people are allowed to enter the profession without qualifications and professional memberships to maintain.
I find myself agreeing with the poster who talks about the professional bodies spending their resources chasing down their own members who have suffered the qualifications and are paying subscriptions rather than focusing such resources upon protecting the profession against those who set up shop without qualification or professional body.
Its an interesting read if you get five mins. Even AAT and ICB get mentioned in the thread (although admittedly not for very long). The main thrust seems to be those in the ICAEW and ACCA who are having issues.
I actually thought of chipping in to that thread myself but then thought, no, I find myself here in the Colosseum but the lions haven't noticed me yet.
Talk later,
Shaun.
