the best advise i can give ...you better apply fresh case(because you can not change your chartered accountant while applying for administrative review)...as in uk people can apply tier1 general visa till 5th of april 2011. but this time take services of any professional immigration consultant and certified chartered accountant (as this is your last chance to win).....GOOD LUCK

There will of no use to hold on to the same accountant in my opinion. It is clear that his firm was not registered.

Now regarding whether u should appeal or re-apply. I know one person whose case was refused on same accounts. He was not aware either of his accountant registration.

He appealed and got another accountant. His appeal was approved and got his visa.

Cheers

If the accountant is a chartered certified accountant and is a member of the recognised bodies (given in the Tie-1 guideline), his / her letter will be acceptable if he / she issues the letter in his / her personal capacity. In this case the membership of he / her firm is immaterial. This has been confirmed by UKBA. I got following reply from them :

"ACCA is on this list of accountancy bodies. Therefore if your accountant is personally a member of this body and provides confirmation of this we can consider the accounts that he has personally prepared and signed off. However if the accounts are presented from a firm that is not registered, then we will not be able to consider them because the firm will not be appropriately regulated. This is to ensure that the documents presented to us as evidence are from a source that it subject to professional oversight and to ensure the quality of the information:
