Accountants' Defence was incorporated in January 2004 by Christopher Cope, solicitor (1976) and member of the Academy of Experts (1991). Christopher Cope dealt with complaints/discipline at the ICAEW from 1976-1983. For the last 23 years, he has specialised in accountants' disciplinary hearing advice, representing over 500 accountants, more than 300 before accountancy tribunals.

Practitioners have never been under greater pressure with Practice Assurance and the Money Laundering Regulations adding yet more worries. In 2006, the average ICAEW Investigation Committee fine and costs was £6,000, compared to £5,235 in 2005.
      


Most former members of the Accountancy Defence Union (est. 1993), who received accountants' disciplinary hearing advice, have transferred to Accountants' Defence. The ADU has now been wound up.
