Professional bodies can provide a certificate of good standing, which will state that a member has been or maybe subject to in due course disciplinary action. Such certificates cost. I have in the past had a requirement to produce such certificates. These certificates are reproduced below. As noted on my qualification page, direct request can be made of these professional bodies by third parties. As to the ACCA qualification, I was previously an ACCA member, but resigned because I believed my position within the ICAEW may have created a conflict in that I was representing the ICAEW, but was a member of a competing accountancy body.
I have been involved in a number of publications: the more recent being with the publishers Spiramus and Jordans, details of which are noted below. My 'current project' is a book with the working title of "Dispute Resolution: Trustees and Fiduciaries", which is to be co-authored with Peter Pexton (http://gantengroup.com/en/our-team) and is due for publication in 2013. The book will focus on ADR techniques, especially mediation, within a trust context. The book is being published in conjunction with STEP (The Society of Trust & Estate Planners) who will be running a series of courses on the subject. More details of the project can be obtained by clicking on the STEP icon to the left. As to my existing books, please click on each book cover for details.
