Abstract
This paper contains a review of recent trends and developments in the UK accountancy profession, and an analysis of the decentralisation of branch offices to the regions. Original material is used to explore the reasons for such growth in one region, Wales, and to analyse the social implications of the tertiarisation of subregional local economies as a result of the growth of service sector activities, such as accountancy.Keywords
