Tier 1 extension- accountant qulificaitons

Post by sun_ksh » Thu Feb 03, 2011 5:48 pm

Accountant qualifications:

My accountant has the following information on his letter head.


NAME AND ADDRESS INCLDUING CONTACT INFO
Chartered Certified Accountants
And Registered Auditors
BA(Hons), FCCA.



Is this information sufficient for applying tier -1 -general extension application? Does letter head need to have any reference number or any registration no? Since my accountant has not handled any cases of giving letter for visa purpose i want to be sure.

As per the UKBA guidance accountant has to be ACCA , but when i spoke to accountant he said FCCA is better than ACCA. Just wondering whether i should request accountant to write ACCA in his cover letter so that it matches word to word with the requirements set out in guidelines.

thanks

Members of ACCA with sufficient post-qualification experience are designated Fellows, and use the designatory letters FCCA in place of ACCA.

Thanks for the reply. FCCA qualification is better then.

MY OTHER CONFUSION WAS :

Does letter head need to have any reference number or any registration no? Since my accountant has not handled any cases of giving letter for visa purpose i want to be sure.

Can you please advise on this? Since his letterhead doesn't have it, he need to order new letter-head just for me.

thanks

thanks.

I will ask my accountant to include this in letter. Even if he includes that in main letter (as he doesn't have all this info on the letter head header) , that should work- fine?

thanks
