Hi Respected members,
I am working as a contractor and use an accountancy firm for my accounts maintenance. I was reading the guidance and found out the following :
"
Where an applicant is providing evidence from an accountant or accountancy firm the accountant must be either a fully qualified chartered accountant or a certified accountant who is a member of a registered body. If the earnings were for work done while the applicant was in the UK, such evidence must come from an accountant or accountancy firm in the UK who is a member of a recognised supervisory body. These are: The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW); the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland (ICAS); the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI); the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA); the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA); the Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA); or the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA). From 6 April 2014 members of the Association of International Accountants (AIA) are also members of a recognised supervisory body
"
I checked with my accountancy firm and they are not a member of any supervisory bodies mentioned above. Do I need to change my accountant ?
The firm is SJD accountancy so if anyone here has used them and had ILR success please let me know.
