According to the fount of all knowledge (well, Wikipedia actually, and the following is from memory) the Institute of Chartered Accountants for England and Wales (ICAEW) was formed in about 1880 and what became the Society of Incorporated Accountants was formed in about 1885. It finally merged with the ICAEW in 1959. I wasn't sure if this was the same as the Institute of Chartered Accountants but looking up now it seems that it and they just ignore the "England and Wales" bit for normal conversation (just as they seem to ignore Scotland...)
