A great deal of the work performed by a Chartered Accountant is identical to the work performed by your council, including budgeting, finance considerations, costing analysis, project review, and most importantly, comparing projects where money isn't the only consideration. How do you compare service between two hospitals? These skills take a long time to develop, and require a great degree of training and experience to get right. A Chartered Accountant must prove they have these skills to even get the CA designation. As a voter, you should ensure your council has a member who already has these skills.
