People: Duncan & Toplis; Lorien Engineering Solutions

Stuart Brown

Duncan & Toplis director and head of technical and compliance, Stuart Brown has been appointed as a member of an influential ethics advisory committee for the accountancy profession.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) Ethics Advisory Committee reviews the technical advice provided to ICAEW members, gives advice on complicated or precedent-setting cases and contributes to the development of new guidance and other policy issues. The committee also participates in consultations, provides recommendations and gives feedback to other relevant committees.

Brown said: “I believe that ethics and behaving in an ethical manner are the absolute foundations of being a chartered accountant. As trusted advisors we must uphold the reputation of the ICAEW. It is a great honour to be able to represent myself and Duncan & Toplis on the EAC and be in a position to influence the decisions that it takes.”

He will sit on the committee for a two year term, with the committee meeting four times per year. The role is unremunerated.
