Why Accountants Rely on ICPA for Technical Support

Needing external support from time to time is normal. But where do you turn when you need support or technical advice?

The answer is ICPA. Our members know that they can turn to our experts for accountancy help via our advice lines, included in all ICPA membership tiers. What’s more, they also enjoy access to compliance resources, procedural manuals and up-to-date and ready-to-use technical advice resources and documents – in addition to many other membership benefits.

With ICPA membership, staying compliant, up-to-date and supported has never been easier.

Comprehensive Manuals and Checklists for Accounting Compliance

From anti-money laundering checklists to disclosure requirements, compliance manuals and more, accounting compliance becomes easier with ICPA membership.

Disclosure Checklists 

Our FRS checklists are designed to help accountants maintain compliance and accuracy in their client work:

FRS 102 disclosure checklist: From fixed assets and stock to employee benefits and deferred tax, this checklist makes understanding FRS 102 requirements easier. 

FRS 102 1A disclosure checklist: When reporting for small entities, use this specific checklist to ensure that FRS 102 1A requirements are met.

FRS 105 disclosure checklist: Reporting for micro-entities? Let us help you make sense of FRS 105. 

Anti-Money Laundering (AML) Checklist

Based on the 2017 Regulation and CCAB guidance, our AML checklist helps you comply with regulations and auditing standards. UK accountants benefit from risk assessments and reporting forms to keep you on the right side of the law and HMRC. See all of our AML benefits here.

Procedures and Compliance Manuals

From your regular daily operations to compliance management, our range of technical manuals and procedures manuals offer a handy reference point for your practice. Our compliance and practice support manuals support streamlined workflows, as well as adherence to the relevant UK standards.

Practical Technical Advice and Compliance Reviews

Our technical advice helplines (email or telephone, depending on membership package) provide ICPA members with additional support, whenever it’s needed.

Whether it’s tax & VAT advice, employment and health & safety advice or legal advice you’re after, our experienced, qualified advisors are there to help. We also offer comprehensive compliance reviews, with support topics including auditing standards, accountancy help and much more.

Auditing Procedures and Standards Compliance

Our accounting technical support also includes resources designed to assist with auditing procedures and alignment with UK standards.

Including the International Standards on Auditing (UK), the International Standards on Quality Management (UK) and the FRC’s Ethical Standard – as well as the FRC’s other standards relating to auditing and other assurance engagements – our resources keep ICPA members informed of new developments and compliant with the required standards.

From comprehensive, accessible toolkits to expert one-on-one support, ICPA members benefit from exclusive access to resources to save time and money and remain compliant. AML checklists, disclosure checklists, advice lines and compliance manuals are just a few of the technical support resources available to our members - in addition to a whole host of other benefits, too.  These include professional indemnity insurance, continuing professional development and accountancy compliance tools among others: a wealth of resources, advice and tools all under one roof at a significant discount.
