call if you are missing anything and I will email it.
Revision -
Courses are now underway but there is still time to book a place.
COFA Investments
- we are experimenting with an online virtual classroom for this
subject. It is lovely to have a group of students from around the world
including Belize, Bermuda, Barbados, Guernsey and Gibraltar. Very
international!
World Prizes -
so far we have heard from two of our students who have won world prizes
in the June 2009 ICSA exams. Congratulations to Maria and Karen -
flowers are on their way!
Good Luck to one

10th August:
A group of Company Secretaries and Students in Manchester have asked if
we can publicise a new group run by volunteers:
Inaugural
North West Company Secretary networking event
Ever felt like you were
missing out on company secretarial social, networking
and technical events because you work in the North West?
In the 1990s the
Manchester Branch of the ICSA was extremely active
organising social and training events for ICSA students,
graduates, associates and fellows based in the North
West. Unfortunately in recent years the Manchester
Branch closed and such events are no longer held.
Following discussions
between ICSA students, graduates and associates working
in the North West the establishment of a new North West
Company Secretary group has been proposed.
The types of events
proposed to be put on by the group are:
· networking and
social events; and
· technical
sessions with relevant speakers looking at topical
issues of importance for company secretaries
The first North
West ICSA event is being held on 17 September 2009
at 6.30pm at Beluga, 2 Mount Street, Manchester
Centre M2 5WQ. Please register your interest to give
us an idea of numbers. Please contact Victoria Parr

Accounting Fundamentals we have been experimenting with a new online

these sessions available for other subjects in the near future.

Congratulations to our prizewinners.
ICSA did not publish a list
of prizewinners for the November 2007 exams so we can only add you to our
hall of fame if you let us know! We are hoping to receive a list of June
08 winners soon. We like to send a gift to all our winners!
Revision classes for
professional levels are filling up, but there are still spaces.

ICSA June exam results are
due to be released on Monday August 18th at 5pm on their website. They
will also post the results in the traditional fashion. Do let us know how
you got on and feel free to call for advice on what subject to do next.

We are pleased to announce
that our London revision classes are moving to a new venue on the South
Bank. Access is really easy from Waterloo station and from the underground
and bus network. Details are on the revision page along with dates. The
venue, 15Hatfields has been designed to full environmental specifications
and is the most sustainable venue in London! We are sure you will love it.
London revision page
Also new - we are
offering two revision courses as an audio option - we send you the same
notes as used in the London course but with an audio commentary as files
on a pen drive. You can then listen to Alan while you work your way
through the revision notes. Courses available as Audio for November 2008
are Strategic and Operations Management and Corporate Law. If successful
we may introduce more next year.
