Prior to 1956 the Association of Certified Corporate Accountants was represented in Guyana (British Guiana) by Colin Alan Campbell, FCCA, Governing Director of Real Daylight Balata Company Limited, a subsidiary of Bookers Mc.Connell and Company Limited. He co-opted the help of Messrs. E.A. Adams, ACCA and Charles Gonsalves, ACCA to assist with applications for student registration. The applications for student registration had grown considerably in the 1950’s and at his request a group of Certified Accountants consisting of Wilton Lloyd Wilson, Patrick C. Yansen, John G. and Noel F. Barcellos and V. J. Gangadin, undertook to relieve him of the task and to further set about forming a representative body of qualified Accountants to look after the interest of the profession in Guyana.
