Context

This was a chartered accountancy partnership established in 1902 between E.E. Spicer and E.C. Pegler. Their address was 60 Watling Street. The firm became influential in the training of young accountants and published many standard textbooks. Following amalgamations with other firms in the 1970s and 1980s, Spicer and Oppenheim (as the firm was then known) amalgamated with Touche Ross and Company in 1990. Touche Ross and Company became Deloitte and Touche in 1996.
