THE chief executive of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Scotland has seen his pay stay steady at £354,000.
Anton Colella's remuneration is revealed in the ICAS annual review for 2014 which also shows the total wage bill for other executive directors at the organisation increased from £798,000 to £834,000.
The professional body, which employs around 150 people, posted revenue of £15.12 million, down slightly from £15.39m, and pre-tax profit of £489,000 for the year.
The profit was down sharply from the £1.25m it booked in the prior year although that had included a one-off gain of £622,000 from the sale of investments.
Mr Colella said ICAS has grown its overseas membership by 60 per cent over the past decade.
It had 6,300 members based outside Scotland in 2004 and that number is now more than 10,000.
Mr Colella said: "We are now a truly global institute and our ambition is to grow the reputation and impact of our organisation on the international stage even more in the immediate future.
"We are fiercely proud of our Scottish heritage but the new face of ICAS is increasingly diverse and ambitious as we aim to create a world-leading, international institute."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
