Hi all,

If anyone can help me with regard to new form of SET O. In section 9 it has been written that on earning section that evidence of the regulation of accountant body must be provided.

what is that mean? if accountant letter head is already clarify its registration number, still have to provide another proof? or accountant letter head sufficient for the proof of its regulation body.

Highly appriciated if anyone can help me.

Thank you

No idea but I am just going with standard documents for Contractor

e.g.accountant letter for income/paylisp/dividends voucher/interim account/invoice etc

Anyone has applied now can clarify the same please ??

I got my ILR and actually nothing such required/asked other than usual Accountant letters and same payslip/dividend voucher etc....

I have exactly the same query and wanted to know if some specific thing needs to be mentioned in the letter from the accountant or in the header/footer etc?

Is there an agency (like FCA/PRA for banks) which regulates accountants and this fact needs to be mentioned somewhere?

I found the following the documents required for Tier 1 (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... s/#header5):

Requirements for accountants
If you are providing evidence from an accountant or accountancy firm, they must be either a fully qualified chartered accountant or a certified accountant who is a member of a registered body.

If your earnings were for work done while you were in the UK, the evidence must come from an accountant or accountancy firm in the UK who is a member of a recognised supervisory body:

the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW);
the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Scotland (ICAS);
the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI);
the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA);
the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA);
Institute of Financial Accountants (IFA); and
the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).


I would therefore think that if the accountant mentions that they are a member of the supervisory body it should suffice.

Any thoughts anyone?
