Which website do I need to find if a UK Accountant has been struck off?
Hi! I am doing some research work and want to know which website to go on to find out if a (UK) Accountant has been struck off for that particular company. I am guessing that there would be a public record stating the same. Also I am looking for a website which tells about a history of a past Company - is there such a thing? I've Googled the Company's name without any success! Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1 :
try the financial services authority FSA. They should be able to tell you if someone has been struck off.
Answer 2 :
Hi, You probably know about the Institute of Chartered Accountants. http://www.icaew.com/index.cfm/route/158423/icaew_ga/en/Home/Institute_of_Chartered_Accountants_in_England_and_Wales If the accountant was a sole trader or partner in a limited liability partnership practice than it may be difficult to find out id this individual has been struck off. If they were trading as a director of a ltd liability company then companies house would show the status of the company and you could then use this information to ask the ICA to confirm if they have been struck off or not. Equally if you have their name then there will a press cutting as nearly always these cases are reported in either the local or National press. http://www.companieshouse.gov.uk/
