2025 probate diversity survey
The next survey will take place in spring 2025. Information on what ICAEW probate accredited firms will need to do will be communicated in the new year. We expect the process to remain consistent with the previous two surveys and for the data collection to again take place using the Riliance survey tool. Full details will be published in due course.
Probate diversity survey results
The results of ICAEW’s fifth biennial diversity survey of firms regulated for probate is now available to download. We hope this report continues to support the evolution of ICAEW’s diversity strategy and help direct its commitment to better diversity within the profession.
The engagement by firms with the monitoring exercise continues to be excellent, over 93% of them had responded within the required timeframe. The data accordingly covers a total of 353 firms involving nearly 10,000 staff. We are grateful to the firms and their staff who have contributed to this review.
The data is intended to help practices identify new areas for growth in the delivery of their accountancy and legal services and to allow benchmarking with similar practices and the wider marketplace.
