MAJORITY REPORT. 273 is not required to be so broad, but it is very intensive.” (Middleton, Q. 23,234.) Moreover, they are encouraged, and many of them in fact prepare themselves, to take the Incorporated Accountants’ examinations. This is as it should be, but it is perhaps a matter for consideration whether the encouragement might not be more encouraging, or alternatively more imperative. Accountancy is after all a profession, and on general grounds it is desirable that those who in the service of the Government do work which is proper to any profession, should be professionally qualified. It may be that the ‘‘ intensive training ’’ which the young and unqualified auditor receives may make him within his own narrow plot as useful as a qualified accountant; but we feel that if a professional qualification is of any value, its attainment should enable the holder to bring to the discharge of his duties a wide: outlook which, even if only in undefined ways, would promote the efficiency of the service. Nor in this matter do we think it right to overlook the increased respect with which the public at large (whether ignorantly or not is irrelevant) would probably regard men professionally qualified to do professional work. 678. In summary, therefore, we do not recommend any change in the existing system of auditing the accounts of Approved Societies and Insurance Committees, but we consider that every effort should be made to keep the proportion of qualified men on the staff at as hich a level as is practicable
