Abstract
In this paper the issue of skilled transient movements (international secondments) within large multinational accountancy firms are considered. The principal arguments in the paper are that chartered accountants are involved in transient moves through global secondment programmes as a response to the corporate strategy of the firm and as a tool which enhances the career development of the individual.Keywords
