Dartmoor Accountants
Legally, anyone can call themselves an ‘accountant’ without the necessary training and experience. Before becoming a ‘chartered accountant’ and using the designatory letters ACA or FCA, members must
undertake a period of at least three years training with an organisation that is authorised by the Institute and pass tough examinations embracing financial management, auditing, business strategy, taxation and IT.
Institute members are expected to maintain high standards of ethical and professional conduct. The scheme of Practice Assurance provides members in practice with a framework of quality assurance principles to help them assess and develop their own practices. It demonstrates their commitment to upholding and developing professional standards. All members must comply with the Institute’s scheme of Continuing Professsional Development thus ensuring that their knowledge and skills are kept up to date. Advice from a chartered accountant can be invaluable.
