Prior to joining the FRC, she trained and worked as an auditor at Deloitte.

Claire Lindridge, director, Policy and Insights, ACCA, said: ‘I’m excited to be joining ACCA and working with the team and members around the world on the future development and delivery of ACCA’s Policy and Insights. I look forward to playing a key role in supporting our members and the wider accountancy community  with our cutting-edge research, and by focusing on our global policy priorities of bridging the skills gap, driving sustainable business and championing the professional accountant.’

Claire Lindridge succeeds Mike Suffield who retired in September.
