Accountant or accountant firm Acca certified check

[yhm75]

Hi
seniors

I have q? About account practising membership

My accountant has a Acca membership
I checked which says

Holds ACCA Practising Certificate: This indicates a member holding a practising certificate issued by ACCA. This means that the member is authorised to provide a range of general accountancy services to individuals and businesses, including business and tax advice and planning, preparation of personal and business tax returns, set up of book-keeping and business systems, providing book-keeping services, payroll work, assistance with management accounting help with raising finance, budgeting and cash-flow advice, business start-up advice and expert witness

But

Accountants firm don't have membership

If

Firm need to pratcing membership ?

Please advice

Thanks

Dear

An individual (ACCA Member) must also hold Practising Certificate to suffice Home Office Requirement. Holding an ACCA Membership only does not permit him/her to sign any document for home office purpose.

The business in his own name, he/she is running/will run, called Accountant Firm.

I hope it clarifies.

If you like to ask any relevant question, feel free to ask again.
