(Finance) – “We did not agree with the choice of President Elbano de Nuccio. The council of the Order of Chartered Accountants and Accounting Experts of Milan has officially declared that it does not adhere to the vision of the proposed reform, which fragments the profession. It is, in fact, , aimed at an ‘elite’ and does not valorise the ‘generalist’ accountant (clients’ point of reference in everyday life)”. This was declared by Marcella Caradonna, president of the accountants and accounting experts of Milan after the presentation to politics of the text approved by the Cndcec for the proposal to amend the law establishing the accountants, without, however, waiting for a conclusive discussion with the presidents of the territorial orders in meeting, called for next December 13th.
This move forward was little understood and raised doubts throughout Italy and many presidents of different regions were annoyed by the lack of sharing of the text (discussed all together in a single meeting, in which, moreover, notable critical issues had emerged) .
“The reform proposed by the National Council is also antidemocratic – continues Caradonna – because, outlines a complex and cumbersome electoral systemwhich strongly reduces the political value of local orders and thus leads to a concentration of power on the National Council”.
Punctual criticisms (unheeded) also came from Rome, Turin and Florence. The discontent is not only among large orders, there are dissents throughout Italy and come from Lombardy, Tuscany, Piedmont, Lazio, Campania, Molise, Sardinia, Sicily. In addition to those in large cities, a negative opinion was also recorded in orders of smaller dimensions.
“There are several of us in Lombardy who have expressed criticisms that have not been listened to,” he declares Carla Cioccarelli (president of Sondrio). “I spoke with other Piedmontese presidents and there is no agreement either on the method or on the text”, underlines Roberto Cravero (president of Biella). “Dissent also comes from the orders of Sardinia”, as he underlines Giusy Uda (president of Oristano)“President de Nuccio must respect us Presidents who represent the members… he promised a new meeting in September and instead continued alone”.
The president of Sassari Marco Scanu adds: “The proposed electoral system undermines institutional stability and cohesion between Orders and within Orders, without having as an adequate counterweight an effective improvement in the choice of the National Council”.
Voices of dissent also from Sicily where Francesco Vito (president of Messina) underlines: “We are organizing ourselves to write to the ‘ministry’ and ‘politics’ so that they know that a review of the text is important in any case to reach a solution truly shared by the entire category”.
“To make sense, a reform must be the subject of analysis, meetings, joint evaluations… not that the Cndcec acquires the notes from the territories and, without any real cross-examination, chooses at its sole discretion what the future of our category should look like”, he concludes from Lazio Raffaella Romagnoli president of Latina.
