A quick question please:

On what grounds can another accountancy practice refuse professional clearance please?

Thank you in advance.

    pretty much only unpaid fees. Other than that they can just provide advice on which you can decide to act before accepting the appointmemt.

    It's also worth mentioning that professional clearance is not permission - it's a courtesy. You do not need professional clearance to be able to take on a client.

    Anyone who is a member of a reputable professional body will be required to provide the requested handover, but can withhold it in the case of unpaid fees.

    Anyone who's not a member of a professional body can do what they like.

    Agreed.

    Professional 'clearance' is an old term as it suggests permission is required.
