The shield is an allusion to the calculator, an essential tool in accountancy. | |||
The Male Griffin - the traditional "Guardian of Gold" - in crest and supporters appears to illuminate and probe even the most inaccessible financial crevice with its golden rays, the vigilance and confidentially inquisitive attitude of all good accountants emphasised by the reguardant attitude of the supporters. The silver and black stripes represent columns of figures. The Griffins' tails are Gules in reference to the desire of all good accountants to persuade clients to "put behind them" red entries in their ledgers. | |||
