Ernst & Young reunited with ICAEW

Ernst & Young is to support the ICAEW qualifications again having abandoned it at the turn of the century.

The chief executive at ICAEW, Michael Izza, announced at this week's council meeting that Ernst & Young will be taking the institutes students.

Ernst & Young currently supports Scottish qualification ICAS and has no plans to stop using them.

Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and RBS, after "teething problems", will all be taking ICAEW students next year.

Izza also revealed the institute would not achieve the target of 1,000 international students this year, but should break that number in early 2010.
