Mission Statement
for Bristol & District Chartered Accountant Students' Society (BADCASS). 

BADCASS is a not for profit society representing trainee chartered accountants in the Bristol and district area. The area covers Bristol, Cheltenham, Gloucester and Swindon.

Any individual under a training contract with the ICAEW (Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales) or with ICAS Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland) is automatically a member of their local student society also. 

[Please note that ICAS students are not automatically subscribed to BADCASS this must be done by individual firms.]

The society is administered by a committee of volunteer trainee accountants, representing several of the professional service firms in the region.

Our aim as a committee is to enhance students' personal development and improve networking skills within the accountancy community through the organisation of social and work-related events throughout the calendar year. We also provide a link for students to the national institutes and the ICAEW West of England - the local district society.

If you feel we are not doing enough in your area, or you would like to know more about what the committee do, please contact us to find out more!
