Are there records I can search to find out if someone was a chartered accountant back in 1900?
My great grandfather is something of a mystery. Am not sure if he was Scottish or English. From official certificate I know he was an accountant. I would like to know if I can trace him through this line of enquiry.

Answer 1 :
As above, but don't contact the ACCA, because that is the professional body for the Certified accountancy body. Contact the Professinal body for Chartered Accountants. viz. The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales or, the same body for Scotland.
Answer 2 :
The organisation that governed chartered accountants back then was what is now the ACAEW but that only covers England and Wales. Contact them (www.icaew.com) and their scottish counterparts www.icas.org.uk

Answer 2 :
I was a driving instructor ADI, for 30 yrs and then a heavy goods instructor. as a driving instructor most of your takings will be in cash ! and your expenses will be much the same each week, just keep two books income and expenditure, keep all your fuel bills and any other receipts that you get and at the end of the year go direct to the tax office and ask to see a tax inspector they will tell you exactly how much allowances you get for depreciation on your car and how much you can claim for phone, using part of your house as an office etc Dont go to an accountant ! they are robbing b*stards and will charge you the earth for something that you can easily do yourself. if you want to know more email me >

Answer 1 :
Some states have a list of professional people. Check your state and see if they list anything about accountants, such as CPA listings.
Answer 2 :
ohhhhhhh-ur in the uk-didn't know--well, looks like you've got some good info---if u need more i'm glad to help--don't worry about it 2 much-i know u are annoyed by him, but it's not even worth your time!!---if I were you, I'd definitely ask him how long he's been certified, and through whom----he's got to have documentation, and if he's practising, it has to be visible--let us know how it turns out!!!!
Answer 3 :
Check out the Institute of Chartered Accountants, linked below
Answer 4 :
You need to know which body he claims qualification with. There are 6 in the UK. The Chartered Accountants have either FCA, ACA, FCCA, ACCA or IPFA after their names. If there is only 1 C then this is the Institute of Chartered Accountants of England and Wales - their members directories are available at libraries. 2 C's is the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants. Public Sector accountants can also be qualified members of CIPFA. There is also ICAS (Scottish Accountants) and CIMA (management accountants) and AAT (technicians). If an accountant is trading in their own right as an accountant (i.e. not an employee) you are within your rights to contact their institute to check their registration and qualification to practise.
Answer 5 :
The Institue of Chartered Accountants (ACCA) is the regulatory body for all chartered & Certified accountants You could also contact your local trading standards
