What to know about Accountants

In the UK, "accountant" is not a protected title. Anyone may print it on a card and start trading. The chartered and certified bodies set entry exams, ethics codes and continuing professional development for their members, but the Financial Reporting Council describes its oversight of those bodies as non-statutory. Only two pieces of accountancy work are licensed by law: signing a statutory audit, and taking an insolvency appointment.
