A few years back the IfA came up with a forward plan for the short term improvement of terms, conditions and renumeration to the level of comparable professions....unfortunately suspended in 2009 due to the 'economic crisis'. It would be good to see the IfA announce a date for the reintroduction of the forward plan, (with of course appropriate revision for the time lost and a reassessment of the comparison with other jobs). To my mind progress on other areas of the IfA agenda, chartered status for example, will be hamstrung unless there is progress on the matter of wages, terms and condditions and an overall career structure.
With peace and consolation hath dismist, And calm of mind all passion spent...
