Council
Leading the
Profession Forward
Council is the governing body of the Institute – determining its strategy and policy and deciding on the allocation of the Institute’s resources. It is comprised of 14 members all forming part of the accountancy profession and coming from various sectors. Four of the Council members form part of the Officers team made up of the President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer, who amongst other duties are responsible for overseeing the execution of the Council’s policy setting and implementation.
Council Members are elected by Members during the Annual General Meeting for a period of 2 years.
The Role
of Council
- Set the overall direction of the Institute.
- Responsible for ensuring that the Institute continues to develop in line with its mission and values.
- Ensure the Institute’s objectives are achieved.
- Responsible for safeguarding the Institute’s image and reputation.
- Ensure that the Institute operates in the public interest.
Standing for Election
to Council
The annual general meeting is held on a yearly basis to elect seven members to the Council and each member will be elected for a period of two years. Thus in a two-year period, all fourteen members of the Council are up for election.
The modus operandi of the AGM is stipulated by the Statute and Bye-Laws. Through a notification sent out to all Members before each AGM, the Institute invites any interested parties who wish to be on Council to submit their nomination.
- Are you passionate about the profession?
- Do you have the right skills and competencies to be on Council?
- Want to shape the future of the Institute and profession?
During his speech at the 2019 AGM, outgoing President, William Spiteri Bailey, emphasised the personal value that one derives from being an active constituent of the Institute.
"The MIA is a success story because it has consistently faced challenges with reason, integrity, and long-term vision. These values guided my passion for the profession and sustained my determination throughout my term. Serving as President has been both a proud and humbling experience. It has been an honour to work alongside our dedicated professionals, committed volunteers, Council members, and exceptional MIA staff. I am grateful to all who shared in our mission to advance the profession in Malta and build a strong foundation for its future and continued long-term success."
