More content added (March 2018)

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

First of all I would like to disclose my COI in that I am currently employed by ICAEW of which Michael Izza is CEO. I have been asked as social media manager to organise this update by Michael, which has been written under my instruction and following the rules given here.

The intention is simply to expand on Michael's biography here, and to do so adhering to all Wikipedia rules and regs.

I would like to suggest the following additions, please let me know if these are permissible and if not what is required to make them so. Thank you in advance.

Following the nationalisation of Northern Rock in 2008, Michael chaired a panel of Treasury advisers tasked with appointing an independent valuer for the Northern Rock Compensation Scheme. https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/high-court-pressed-for-early-hearing-on-rock-shareholders-battle-with-treasury-bjr7ltmrrst

Throughout the financial crisis, he offered his knowledge and expertise on some of the more technical issues being faced by businesses. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7875661.stm

In 2009, in light of the recession, ICAEW was asked by the Government to assess the lending climate for SMEs. The report made a number of recommendations, including on improving transparency and consistency. Michael called on banks to restore trust with small businesses and improve their relationships. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/yourbusiness/5819938/Fear-of-banks-causes-lending-logjam.html

[Can’t access this one at the moment] FT – “Accountants battle over tax avoidance” (Apr 2012) https://www.ft.com/content/c3ff8f44-ccdb-11e1-9960-00144feabdc0

Michael enthusiastically supported a government request for regulatory bodies to take a greater lead and responsibility in setting and enforcing standards around tax avoidance. He was vocal about the importance of upholding ethical standards within ICAEW and across the profession more widely, as well as the need for wider reform. https://ion.icaew.com/moorgateplace/b/weblog/posts/ourresponsetoconcernsaboutthetaxprofessionsroleintaxavoidance

In December 2016, Michael encouraged the Prime Minister to progress with her plans for corporate governance reform, including the proposal to include employees on company boards. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/12/04/accountants-urge-may-keep-pledge-put-workers-boards/

^ Acting as chair of a panel is not too illuminating of a description. If the claim is to be added, then summarized, background context should be given to help the reader with an enhanced understanding of why being chair was important in this case and how the subject's actions as chair were significant.

^ The offering of advice is generally not notable, per WP:MILL

^ This claim is more helpful, in that it offers a brief explanation of context. What is missing, however, is the role that the subject played in ICAEW's assessment performed for the Government.

^ No actionable request.

^ Being supportive and vocal on their own are not good enough reasons for the inclusion of this claim.
