Our firm have been awarded the Quality Checked Seal, by the Chartered Association of Certified Accountants in recognition of the level of service and professional competence observed within the firm

 

Neville Weston's also retain registered Auditor status, enabling them to carry out Statutory audits as required by the Companies Acts, Solicitor Account Rules and the Charity Commission. We can also carry out Regulatory and Compliance work, as often required by Constitution, Grantors and other bodies.

 

In order to retain these significant professional skills, the firm are required to maintain extremely high standards of client work which of course results in a significantly high level of service and transparency to our clients

 

What is it?


The Quality Checked Seal (QCS) is a kitemark issued to ACCA firms that apply best practice standards. The kitemark can be displayed on the firm’s letterhead and used in promotional literature.

Why has ACCA Introduced QCS?
QCS aims for all ACCA practices to be run in a professional and well-organised manner. It gives recognition to firms that have best practice standards in place and helps distinguish them from unqualified firms.

Does this Detract from the ACCA Qualification?
QCS is an award for firms in practice, and best practice standards are specific to situations encountered in small and medium accountancy practices. It enhances, rather than detracts from, the ACCA qualification for members in practice.

How do I get the Kitemark?
You will be awarded the kitemark if a quality assurance visit to your firm shows that you have implemented best practice procedures.

Is it Compulsory?
ACCA Council has decided that all ACCA firms should have a quality assurance visit. Therefore a quality assurance visit is compulsory. However, a firm may choose not to implement the best practice procedures recommended but in this case it would not then be awarded a QCS.

What Does the Visit Involve?
A compliance officer from ACCA’s Monitoring Unit will visit your firm and discuss with you and your staff what quality control procedures you have in place. This will cover:

  • client and fee management

  • presentation and image

  • new client procedures

  • control and training of staff and subcontractors

  • office filing and correspondence

  • security of computer data

  • accounts preparation

  • management accounts

  • personal and corporation tax

  • VAT, PAYE, NIC and payroll work

  • business plans

  • any other services.

The compliance officer will also look at some files and other records to see the controls operating in practice.

What are Best Practice Standards?
Best practice standards are based on the fundamental principles in ACCA’s Code of Ethics and represent good business practices that apply to all firms regardless of their size. The QCS benchmarks and guidance can be viewed on ACCA’s website at www.accaglobal.com/practicechannel/qcs. These are standards not procedures and firms will have different ways of meeting these standards.
