Preparing to become a UK statutory auditor
Section 8 of the Professional Qualifications Act 2022 requires all Recognised Supervisory Bodies to publish information on requirements for members to practice in the United Kingdom.
Having made the fantastic decision to invest in your future by choosing ACCA as your route to becoming a qualified finance professional, the final step in the student process is applying to become an ACCA member.
If you want to become a statutory auditor in the future, you will need to obtain an Audit Qualification (AQ). The AQ does not in itself entitle you to sign off audit reports. You will also need to obtain an ACCA Practising Certificate and Responsible Individual status.
Once you have completed your training and obtained your audit qualification and practising certificate you can download all the forms that you might need. This includes the application for a firm’s auditing certificate.
In the six months (to 31 March 2024) no individuals applied, and went on to become a person responsible for audit in the UK following the direct membership route.
