Dublin,
21st October,
1909.
Dear Sirs,
Your letter of the 10th August to me, upon
behalf of the Institute of Chartered Account
ants in Ireland, has been considered by the
Council of this Society, and, in reply, I am
directed to state the Council are of opinion
that in all cases of arrangement with creditors
out of Court, a Solicitor, in accordance with
the practice which has prevailed for many
years, should have the general conduct of the
business from and including the convening of
the initial meeting of Creditors to the com
pletion of the arrangement ;
the Accountants
engaged, transacting all the usual accountancy
work, such as the investigation of the debtor's
books, the ascertainment of his assets, pre
paration of statement of affairs, and any
i
reports
thereon
to be submitted to
the
creditors.
i
My Council hope that your clients will
!
agree with this statement of the relative
!
functions of Accountants and Solicitors in
arrangement matters, so that it may be
mutually respected in the future conduct of
such matters.
Faithfully yours,
W. G. WAKELY,
Secretary.
