Public Accountancy and Registration Status

A professional title or past registration does not establish current authority to provide public accountancy services.

Source checked · 11 October 2026 Historical document

What the document covers

The bulletin explains restrictions on practising or representing oneself as a public accountant without registration. It also distinguishes limited-purpose registrations from authority to perform audits.

Specific requirements and implications

The bulletin identifies risks where a person continues signing after removal from the register, works during suspension or uses an audit-partner title before registration. Restricted registration for specified insolvency roles does not automatically authorise audits. Suspended practitioners and their firms must also consider the applicable consent requirements for employment. The practical check is the person's current registration and permitted scope, rather than their seniority, prior experience or the name on a firm's website.
