It looks like the government is planning to regulate the accountancy profession, with advisors needing to be regulated by one of the professional bodies. I wonder how this will impact bookkeepers?
Interesting! Had a read through the doc and the term tax advice firms includes the following categories: accountants, bookkeepers, tax advisers/consultants, payroll professionals. So bookkeepers are within the scope of any regulation.
Keen to read more about how any proposed regulation will work and who you'll need to be registered with.
