ACCA Quality Checked is a scheme to help ACCA member firms to enhance the value of services they offer to their clients by applying best practice standards. The scheme officially recognises those firms that apply best practice by awarding an ACCA Quality Checked certificate and mark.

The scheme promotes the adoption of practical quality control procedures that are generally considered to be best practice by the accountancy profession. To obtain ACCA Quality Checked a firm must demonstrate to an ACCA compliance officer that it has achieved the standard of excellence required. A firm must therefore demonstrate that it applies appropriate quality assurance procedures to each area of its business, from practice management, filing and IT systems to accounts preparation, tax compliance work and other professional services. In addition, firms subject to statutory monitoring in respect of audit, insolvency or investment business, must have a satisfactory monitoring visit outcome before they can be awarded ACCA Quality Checked.

Further information about the scheme is available on the ACCA website

At the time of writing less than two hundred accountancy practices in the UK have been awarded the Quality Checked Seal.
