At Darnells, we are proud to be members of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW), a body that holds us to the highest standards of professional excellence. As a regulated firm, our clients can trust that they’re receiving accurate, ethical and reliable services across all aspects of their financial needs.
Being regulated by the ICAEW means we operate with full accountability and are dedicated to maintaining the financial integrity of the businesses and individuals we work with. Our accountants keep up with the latest regulations and industry practices, ensuring that your financial strategies comply with the law while optimising performance.
With the additional oversight from one of the most prestigious accounting bodies in the world, we give you the confidence that comes with knowing your finances are in safe hands.
Working with a regulated accountancy firm like Darnells ensures that you’re receiving expert advice backed by qualifications and a commitment to ethical, trustworthy service. After all, you wouldn’t rely on unregulated advice in other important areas of your life – so why settle for anything less when it comes to your finances?
As an ICAEW-regulated firm, our accountants go through rigorous training and exams, giving them the expertise to handle even the most complex financial matters. Through ongoing Continuing Professional Development (CPD), they stay up to date with the latest standards and regulations. This means the advice you receive is always accurate, relevant and based on the most current insights.
Our commitment to strict ethical standards, as set by the ICAEW, means we work with transparency, honesty and always in our clients’ best interests. You can feel secure knowing that every recommendation is driven by integrity and a genuine commitment to doing what’s right for you.
As a regulated ICAEW firm, we’re subject to regular reviews and monitoring to make sure we’re consistently meeting high professional standards and all legal requirements. This level of oversight gives you added confidence that your financial affairs are handled with care, precision and accountability.
As part of our ICAEW regulation, we hold professional indemnity insurance, providing financial protection in the rare event of any errors or issues. This extra layer of coverage offers you peace of mind and security, knowing you’re fully protected in ways that unregulated accountants simply can’t provide.
Working with Darnells means having a dedicated team by your side, offering advice you can trust and a partnership you can rely on. If you're ready to experience the benefits of working with an experienced, regulated firm, reach out to us for a consultation or to learn more about how we can support your financial goals.
The ICAEW, or the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, is a leading professional body for chartered accountants. Established in 1880, the ICAEW sets high standards for accounting, ethics and professional conduct, and it regulates its members through rigorous training, Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and regular reviews.
No, not all financial services are regulated, which is why working with a regulated accountant is crucial. Certain high-risk services, such as audit, insolvency, investment business and probate, require authorisation by a professional body like the ICAEW. However, other areas, such as general tax advice or bookkeeping, are not strictly regulated and may be offered by unregulated accountants.
So, choosing a regulated accountant ensures that you’re working with a professional who operates with consistent quality and accountability across all services.
Professional indemnity insurance is required for all ICAEW-regulated accountants. In the unlikely event of an error or oversight, this insurance covers any financial loss the client might experience, ensuring they’re not left out of pocket. For clients, this means peace of mind, knowing that, if something goes wrong, they’re fully protected.
Unlike unregulated accountants, who are not obligated to hold this coverage, regulated accountants like those at Darnells carry professional indemnity insurance to provide a higher level of client care and trust.
A regulated accountant is held to high standards of professional conduct and continuous learning. They offer added protection through mandatory professional indemnity insurance and are accountable to a professional body, ensuring transparency and integrity. This oversight ensures that those seeking accounting services can do so with confidence in their accountant’s expertise and integrity, knowing their finances are managed responsibly.
