ICAEW accreditation – What it means for you?

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of England & Wales (ICAEW) is one of the largest professional accountancy bodies operating in Europe. It has more than 118,000 members. The Institute operates under a Royal Charter and provides accreditation to desiring professionals through a robust evaluation process. This accreditation is considered to be a prestigious professional qualification.

The ICAEW has recently launched an initiative to evaluate and recognize XBRL service providers and software vendors. DataTracks UK is the first service provider to secure accreditation from ICAEW.

What does the ICAEW accreditation process involve?

The accreditation process involves an independent evaluation of the software/service provider’s offering by ICAEW representatives. The evaluation focuses on:

a.Compliance of the software/service to the laid down guidelines
b.Quality of support offered by the software/service provider

What does successful ICAEW accreditation indicate?

When a solution provider’s software/service is accredited by ICAEW, it confirms that the service provider follows a well-defined process by which the software/service is provided to end customers. In case of service providers who use software to deliver their services to customers, ICAEW evaluates both the service delivery process as well as the quality of the software used for this purpose. In such instances, the accreditation represents a stamp of quality on both the service and the software used.

What does ICAEW mean for companies?

Organizations subscribing to these services would have the comfort that the solution provider is capable of meeting their expectations on quality and support.
