History
Prior to the merger in 2016, both Morison International and KS International were successful, well-established organisations, each with 25 years’ experience of helping members service their clients’ international needs.
Both associations were established after the same ICAEW dinner in 1990 organised for French and UK accounting firms to forge links. Aplitec met Morison Stoneham who went on to form Morison International and Kingston Smith met Cabinet Sorel who went on to form KS International.

Morison International

The association is the legacy of Walter Morison a Royal Air Force pilot who became a prisoner of war and was sent to Colditz for attempting to steal an enemy aircraft during the Second World War.
Following the war, Morison qualified as a chartered accountant at the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales. He was articled at Morison Stoneham, a firm established by his great uncle. Morison then worked at Coopers Bros, the firm that became Coopers & Lybrand, before returning to his family firm, Morison Stoneham. He led the firm as a senior partner through a period of great change from 1960 to 1981 before retiring. Morison Stoneham was the founding firm of Morison International.
