ICAS awards accountancy students 2025 Charles Scott Prize
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS) has awarded the 2025 Charles Scott Prize to 12 accountancy students from Scottish universities. Awarded annually, the award recognises outstanding academic achievement in accountancy programmes across the country. Each Scottish university offering accountancy programmes selects one student for the prize, based on criteria determined by their academic departments. These criteria focus on identifying students who demonstrate exceptional academic performance and potential within their cohort. ICAS highlights that the Charles Scott Prize offers recipients a significant advantage in their professional journey. Winners gain recognition from a respected professional body, access to expert mentorship, exposure on ICAS platforms, and connections to a global chartered accountant (CA) community. In addition to recognition, each recipient receives a £150 cash award to support their studies. The Charles Scott Prize is part of ICAS' commitment to promoting high standards in accountancy education and fostering collaboration with universities. The 2025 winners include Ethan McDonald from University of Glasgow, Zoe O'Meara from The University of Edinburgh, and Ella MacLean of University of Aberdeen. Prize winners will be featured across ICAS communication channels and offered opportunities to engage with the wider CA community in Scotland and beyond. ICAS executive director of learning Gail Boag said: 'The Charles Scott Prize is one of the ways ICAS celebrates academic excellence and recognises the future leaders of our profession. 'We are proud to honour these outstanding students from across Scotland and to support their journey into the world of accountancy. Their achievements are a testament to their hard work, talent and the success of our university partnerships.' Recently, both the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and ICAS voiced concerns over the UK Government's delay in implementing the audit reform and corporate governance bill.
