Herbert Jeffrey "Jeff" Wooller (born 6 March 1940) is an English accountant and educationalist. He is noted for his accountancy tuition initiatives, and for campaigning for reform of his professional institute, the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales. The institute eventually excluded him from its membership because of his association with the Irish International University, Irish University Business School and International University Business School. Wooller has founded several educational institutions such as the Jeff Wooller College, Institute of Professional Financial Managers and Irish University Business School. ==Early life and career== Born in Yorkshire, Wooller attended Millbridge Upper School and Heckmondwike Grammar School. He began his career as a banker, which took him to Bangladesh and Pakistan.〔 When he returned to Yorkshire, he took a job with Peat Marwick, an accounting firm.〔 In 1970, Wooller attended the London School of Economics to take a two-year Master of Science in accounting and finance.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=London School of Economics Alumni )〕 After the course ended in 1972, he went to Cass Business School and received a Doctor of Philosophy.〔〔 At Cass Business School, Wooller together with Dr Peter Grinyer conducted extensive research into the corporate models of projects sponsored by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Professor Peter Grinyer )〕 In January 1974, he was appointed technical editor of ''Accountancy'', with special responsibilities in industry and commerce. He created the "Students forum" section of ''Accountancy'' and also edited the "Students ask" section.〔〔 He is also a former editor of ''The Treasurer'', the monthly journal of the Association of Corporate Treasurers and contributed to ''Accounting and Business Research''. He has previously worked as a management accountant with Tate & Lyle plc and Imperial Chemical Industries.〔〔 On 2 November 1987, Wooller was appointed editor of ''The Accountant''. In the 1980s, Wooller set up referral courses in the United Kingdom costing £500, which were offered on a "no pass no fee" basis provided the student had completed a 200-hour work programme and a minimum of 10 tests. In 1985, Wooller called for an appeals procedure to be implemented for students who were unsuccessful in getting an extension to the normal time limit for completing examinations. In 2007, Wooller lost his membership as an Honorary Fellow of the Institute of Financial Accountants after appearing on television. He had made statements that discredited the professional body and accountancy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jeff Wooller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
