Hello all, and thanks in advance for what I am sure will be your valuable advice :)

I am starting up in practice and have my first client. He has the old story that his current accountants seem to have done a rubbish job and he wants me to take over. He says there is a form to fill out to compel the old accountants to turn over all his paperwork to me, can anyone point me in the direction of this form?

Thanks!
~Psyche

    go onto the hmrc website and on the search bar put in 64/8, once he has signed this and you have submitted this to the HMRC then you can write a professional letter to his old accountants asking them for everything to do with his accounts.....ie. last years accounts upto date records for payroll and everything else..

    OK so it's not a specific form, you just write to the accountants and ask for it?
    I know about the one to HMRC, thanks!

    Hi Psyche, did you not do the Professional Ethics when studying AAT? Professional clearance is covered and there's a example of a letter in the book. Basically you need to request professional clearance as well as copies of accounts, tax returns etc

    Ethics isn't a unit on the NVQ route

    No, I did not do ethics, which is a shame. I understand though that once you have finished your AAT qualification you can go back and take any modules that you missed. I may do that because I do think EVERY AAT technician should have this module, not just the diploma students.
