Our membership benefits include…
ICPA members can benefit from three different types of insurance cover, all available within the membership fee:
- Professional Indemnity Insurance: Provided by AXA, ICPA Professional Indemnity Insurance is available in three different cover levels depending on your membership package. This cover is fully ICAEW-compliant.
- Office Insurance: ICPA Premium members enjoy office insurance that covers office contents, computer equipment, business interruption, public liability, commercial legal protection and more. Policies can be adapted should extra cover be needed.
- Management Liability Protection: MLP is a form of liability insurance that protects your business – and its Directors and Officers – from issues arising from your people, premises, contracts and data. Cover includes Directors & Officers Liability, Employment Practices Liability and Corporate Legal Liability, with cover up to £2m. It also includes legal resources, updates and advice.
You’ll be well-versed in providing advice to your clients. But what do you do when YOU need advice? That’s where we come in.
ICPA member benefits include a wealth of accounting advice – and more. Our helplines include:
- Accounts: Unlimited access to experts who can provide advice on accountancy queries.
- Tax, Payroll & VAT Advice Line: offering support and tax advice on personal and corporate, direct and indirect taxes.
- Legal Advice Line: telephone access to qualified legal professionals, covering all aspects of personal and commercial law.
- Employment and Health & Safety Advice Line: telephone access to experts in both employment and HR law, plus advice on the latest legislative health and safety requirements.
We staff our helplines at a level where the majority of calls are answered by an advisor first time – and callbacks are handled within a maximum of two hours.
As an ICPA member, you’ll gain access to some incredible accounting resources and professional tools, designed to help you improve your practice.
Our partnership with Tolley’s provides both Tolley Fundamentals (accountancy) and Tolley Elements (tax) access for the most up-to-date legislation, commentary and case law.
A new ICPA partnership with The HAT Group has allowed us to offer the ICPA Essential Documentation Toolkit to all membership levels, including:
- A suite of non-audit engagement letters
- Our AML Procedures Pack (and guide on what you need to know)
- Our Non-Audit Assignments Methodology
Our partnership with HAT also allows us to offer quarterly on-demand training on current topics, in addition to AML update courses.
- The quarterly training offers updates on current developments, and training on changes to professional and legislative requirements.
- A summary of the content of each course is released six weeks before the course, in February, April, July and October.
- By law, all relevant members of your team must receive anti-money laundering (AML) training. Our new course – updated annually – offers an up-to-date summary of key matters, including changes in legislation and guidance, ‘hot topics’ identified by supervisory bodies and more.
