On reading the above technical statement, it appears the advice given to be was incorrect.
It states in the act that the accountants certificate must be signed by an auditor!
Just wanted to clarify!
Hi Graham
Yes, I believe your recollection is correct but I will confirm with the Institute in the morning.
I got my copy of M01 on chariot, but the relevent extract is:-
7) Any person who acts as an accountant for the purposes of this section when not qualified in the manner
indicated inparagraph (a) or paragraph (b) (as the case may be) of the following subsection shall be
guilty of an offence and on summary conviction thereof shall be liable to a fine not exceeding £100.
(8) In this section 'accountant' means -
(a) where the auctioneer or house agent is a company, a person who is qualified for appointment as auditor
of that company,
(b) in any other case, a person (not being a body corporate or the applicant or a partner or employee of the
applicant) who fulfils either -
(i) the condition mentioned in paragraph (a), or
(ii) the condition mentioned in paragraph (b), of section 162(1) of the Companies Act, 1963, for
appointment as auditor of a company and is not disqualified under section 162(2) of that Act for being so appointed'
