Good evening. I’m a little puzzled by the rules around the ACCA practising certificates.
I work for an employer who holds ACA practicing certificate, noone else in the business is ACCA.
I haven’t been qualified long and had a few gaps in my CV (children!) so I’m not very high on the career ladder so the practicing certificate issue doesn’t affect me at the moment, but to my shock I was told today on the phone by someone at ACCA that if I was ever to get promoted to a senior position where I would submit accounts & tax returns for clients I would need a practicing certificate. Surely this can’t be correct since I’m only an employee, not a partner/director/principal? Any thoughts?You would only need if it were your practice but as it’s your employer firm’s name that is attached to your work, you dont need.
Yes if you were a partner in the firm signing auditor’s reports, for example, but not being in a senior position like manager. It’s the engagement partner who needs to be certified.
