Complaints about poor service, bad attitude and inadequate procedures are not usually issues that form the basis of accountants professional negligence claims which are generally related to matters that have caused, or are likely to cause actual financial losses. If you need to complain about any matter which did not cause financial loss you should direct your complaints to either the Association of Certified Chartered Accountants (ACCA) or the Institute of Chartered Accountants (ICA) neither of which will become involved in compensation claims for negligence. If however you have suffered financial loss as a result of an accountants professional negligence we may be able to help you to obtain redress.

In order to obtain compensation in an accountants professional negligence claim it is necessary to show that a duty of care existed and that the losses were directly caused by negligent behaviour. The normal accountant/client relationship is usually sufficient to establish the duty of care and behaviour is negligent if it failed to reach a reasonable standard. All losses directly resulting from the negligence can be claimed provided that the losses are reasonably foreseeable and are not deemed to be remote and unpredictable.
