Most accountants in England and Wales are recognised by either the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA) or the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). Both of these bodies operate a complaints function where clients can issue a grievance if they are not happy with how their accountant has dealt with their matter.
This usually refers to unsatisfactory advice whereas the legal approach takes a complaint a step further to negligent advice. This means that there is an argument that the accountant has not acted in a way that utilises the necessary care and skill required of them. If you believe your accountant has been negligence we may be able to help you recover your losses.
