The Junior Warden usually serves one year, before being elected as Senior Warden, when the Senior Warden is elected as the coming year’s Master.

The Court usually meets four times a year and takes all decisions affecting the Company, such as its activities, finances, membership, participation in the affairs of the City and support for the Lord Mayor and Corporation of the City of London. Court Assistants are initially appointed for a five-year term and can serve a second term.

The Clerk and the Events Organiser are responsible for the Company’s administration.

There is a related, but independent Chartered Accountants’ Livery Charity (charity number 327681), controlled by Trustees appointed from the membership, chaired by the Almoner.
