Please note that the AADB does not deal with individual complaints. If you have concerns about the conduct of an accountant or accountancy firm or about an actuary you should complain to the relevant accountancy or actuarial body. The six accountancy bodies and the Faculty & Institute of Actuaries each have their own procedures for handling complaints and disciplining members whose professional and ethical standards fall below reasonable expectations. The bodies and the designatory letters for their members are as follows:
Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)
Designatory letters: ACA or FCA
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS)
Designatory letters: CA
Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland (ICAI)

Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA)
