In recognition of the commonality of the challenges facing
Accountants in the Caribbean region, delegates representing
accounting bodies in the region began to meet in the early 1960’s.
The overall aim of the meeting of Caribbean Accountants was to
provide a forum for social interaction and networking among
Accountants from the Caribbean region. At that time, the
meetings were held every two years.
In December 1969 at the meeting
of Caribbean Accountants in Barbados it was first proposed that
a regional body should be established to promote and advance the
interest of Caribbean Accountants.
At the conference of Caribbean
Accountants held in Jamaica in1985, the issue was once again
placed on the agenda. Two years later, at the next meeting of
Caribbean Accountants in Port-of-Prince, Trinidad and Tobago
delegates passed a resolution proposing the establishment of a
chartered body for Accountants in the Caribbean.
With the establishment of the
ICAC in 1988, the decision was taken to host the meeting of
Caribbean Accountants on an annual basis. The Caribbean
Conference of Accountants, held in June each year, continues to
be the premier social event of the ICAC while at the same time
ensuring the continued professional development of Accountants
in the region.
