validating your doctorate award.

William Wilberforce International Human Rights Law Centre

St. Luke’s Inn of Court is an association for

Christian and other Faith Lawyers who wish

to research International Human Rights Law.

It has set up with the SCPU Business School

the ‘William Wilberforce International

Human Rights Law Centre’ to issue a

Diplomate to graduates who research major

International Human Rights issues.

William Wilberforce was a major English

social activist of the late 1700s and early

1800s. He was born in Kingston upon Hull,

UK in August 1759 and died in July 1833. He

was the main English campaigner responsible

for the abolishment of slavery in the British

Empire. It was for this early Human Rights

effort that the International Human Rights

Centre has been named after him.

All St Clements University Bachelor and

Master of Law graduates are encouraged to

consider studying International Human Rights

Law with the William Wilberforce

International Human Rights Law Centre.

For further information on the Diplomate

please contact admin@stclements.edu.

Central European University

In Hungary, MPs have passed a law that threatens

to close a top university – The Hungarian

parliament has passed a controversial amendment

to its national law on higher education, changing

the regulations for foreign universities, which

threatens the continuing operation of the country’s

leading university, the Central European

University or CEU founded by billionaire George

Soros. The bill passed a vote in Hungary’s

parliament on Tuesday, with 123 MPs voting for

and 38 MPs voting in opposition. It will require

CEU to open a new campus in the United States,

mandate that CEU change the name under which

it operates, and eliminate an agreement that

allows faculty and staff from non-European

countries to work at CEU without work permits.

The bill requires the governments of the US and

Hungary to agree on new terms for the

university’s operations within the next few

months. Since 2004 it has operated on just such an

agreement between the governor of the state of

New York and then prime minister of Hungary.

The Guild of Industrial, Commercial and Institutional Accountants

(I.C.I.A.) - Canada

The Guild of Industrial,

Commercial and Institutional

Accountants was the first

professional body to recognise

St Clements University

Bachelor of Accounting degrees

for membership. St Clements Education Group

Accounting graduates are encouraged to join this

group.

The Guild of Industrial, Commercial and

Institutional Accountants (I.C.I.A.) is an

association of business accountants, financial

managers, tax preparers and accounting

executives with members in every province of

Canada as well as many other parts of the world.

The Guild was founded in 1956 and incorporated

by Federal Charter in 1961. It promotes and

supports interest in vocational accountancy;

encourages acceptance of modern methods and

procedures and gives recognition to the

individual's skills and practical experience.

Guild is a term used to describe an association for

mutual aid in a common pursuit. The initials

I.C.I.A. are the first letters of our official name -

Industrial, Commercial & Institutional

Accountants. On acceptance, either as an

Accredited Member or an Associate Member, you

will receive an appropriate certificate.

The Guild publishes a regular newsletter known

as the Journal, presently published quarterly and

mailed to all members.

If your career is in accounting or management,

then membership in the Guild should be a priority.

Canadian business is becoming ever more

complex. Consequently, the importance of the

accountant is increasing significantly. Growth,

diversification and competition in today's business

world all demand controls that only a competent

accountant can provide. As a result, the present

day accountant must be better trained and better

informed than ever before. This is why

membership in the Guild (or any professional

association) can be of significant value.

The difference between an Associate and an

Accredited Member is that there are two primary

classes of membership. A student of a recognised

curriculum in accounting or a related field is

eligible for Associate Member status. A graduate

of such a program who has completed the

requisite practical work and administrative

experience may be accepted as an Accredited

Member of the Guild. Associate membership is

also open to those who possess the basics of

bookkeeping and general accounting skills, and

are presently engaged in work of an accounting

nature. On the other hand, Accredited

membership is open to more experienced

accountants with previous formal training and

extensive practical and administrative experience.

Accredited members may also use the designation

I.C.I.A. after their name.

Positions members hold are usually determined by

education and experience. Some Associate

members are bookkeepers and accounting clerks

whereas Accredited members generally hold

positions such as Accountant/Office Manager,

Cost Accountant, Comptroller, Treasurer, Internal

Auditor, Budget Analyst, Financial Accountant

and officer of a corporation. Many of their

members are self-employed.
