New Rules for Lawyers in Fiji a Good Move


New Rules for Lawyers in Fiji

This is a good move by the Fiji government as no one professional body in any country should have the monopoly to control their patch as the consumers and taxpayers end up paying heaps and heaps for their services.

The government ought to deregulate the accounting profession in Fiji too so that we have another complementary professional body as competition is good for consumers, taxpayers and the country.

Most western and other countries have deregulated the accounting industry and to some extend the legal fraternity and this is a step in the right direction for others to fellow. For example, in NZ we have the another professional accounting body called the NZ Association of Certified Public Accountants (NZACPA) www.nzaai.org.nz
