Can a good accountant fake what type of job you do?

Can a good accountant fake what type of job you do?
I have been trying for months to get a Key workers job so that I can get a home through the key workers housing scheme. But seeing as it is so hard to get a key workers job I was wondering if it was possible for a account make it look like (In some sort of way) I am a key worker?. Just for a few months. Because I heard that the housing scheme needs proof that you are a Key Worker.

Answer 1 :
A good accountant can do many things. They run the risk of losing their credentials if caught though. You'd have to find one willing to do that.
Answer 2 :
Hi Dee, Well, my girlfeind was a "key worker", and had the use of a reasonable flat with a minimal rent. I really don't see the importance of an accountant in your position. Your qualifications, experience, and presentation should be enough to set you on your way. You can re-new your passport with "Occupation - Astronaut" What, pray tell has accountancy to do with it ? Bob
Answer 3 :
No, not if it isn't true. A good accountant would never resort to subterfuge anyway -- your few $$$ or £££ are not worth their career. The firm you work for will decide if you are a key worker, nobody else can or would even try.

Answer 4 :
Chartered Accountants will have qualifieded through an institute such as ICAEW and ICAS. The other type of accountant you get is 'certified' which is through the ACCA or CIMA (for management accountants). Chartered is slightly higher in terms of status since you need a degree to train whereas certified you do not, but you learn the same stuff and so there isn't really any difference between the two.
Answer 5 :
There are many different types of accountant who can act for small businesses. Legally, there are no restrictions preventing anyone setting up an accountancy practice or calling himself or herself 'an accountant'. When engaging an accountant to act for your business, you need to ensure that they are appropriately qualified. The main accountancy qualifications are Chartered Accountants (ACA), Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) or Associate of Accounting Technicians (AAT). What do these mean? By holding one of these qualifications, the individual demonstrates that:- they have obtained a minimum standard in passing entrance examinations; they hold professional indemnity insurance; they are committed to maintaining their professional knowledge by undertaking continuing training; and their practice work is monitored for its quality by the professional body to which they belong. An unqualified accountant may be able to charge lower fees but probably won't be able to meet the standards of a qualified accountant Any saving you make on fees might prove expensive in the long term.
