icaew-logo-2017Economia and our Unifying Dividers

Economia embodies the values that have always been at the core of our organisation. She has appeared on our coat of arms since 1880 and features on the facade of our London home, Chartered Accountants’ Hall.

She has three symbolic tools.  The rod signifies command, the rudder represents guidance.  The red dividers represent her unique powers of measurement and assessment, as well as her ability to draw perceptive insights from the world around her.

It’s those unique insights which enable us to contribute meaningfully and dynamically to our profession and the wider industry.
