Technical and ethics advisory helpline

Technical enquiries

Our Technical Enquiries Service provides advice on a wide range of subjects, including accounting, company law, charities and auditing, but not taxation, which is dealt with through the ICAEW Tax and VAT helpline provided by MarkelTax or the TAXconnect. In addition to advice provided through the helplines, common topics are addressed in a series of helpsheets written by our Technical Advisors.

Ethics enquiries

We advise on ethical dilemmas in both business and practice sectors, including providing guidance on interpretation and compliance with the Regulations, Standards and Guidance which incorporates the Code of Ethics, section 3.

Money laundering enquiries

This helpline offers advice on all aspects of complying with the Money Laundering Legislation. Our advisors can answer calls on both general issues concerning application of the regulations or specific issues relating to suspicions and reporting.

Due to the special nature of money laundering enquiries we advise members to phone in anonymously if they wish to speak to an advisor about suspected illegal activity or any matter that may trigger a need to submit a suspicious activity report.
