Hi
Does anyone know whether it is compulsory for bookkeepers to register to the Information Commissioners Office for the Data Protection Act.

Thanks
Mark

This seems to be one of those questions that crop up again and again. My understanding of the DPA is that bookkeepers should be registered.

It actually forms part of the ICB level3 Diploma in bookkeeping.  I would suggest they would not include it if it were not relevant.

I keep thinking about this recently. I called to register and I asked for the forms to be sent out to me as I was having problems printing them off. I was asked what my occupation was and when I told her that I was a self employed bookkeeper and she told me that I didnt need to register. I am going to anyway, its not a lot of money and its better to be safe than sorry.

Hi kjm, sorry for asking it again :) re ICB that make sense and I am taking ICB exams

Hi Terri, I had looked at their website and couldn't work it out, hence the question here, but like you I am erring on the side of caution and registering seeing as it only costs £35 per year, better to be safe than sorry.

Regards
Mark
