Anyone with half an active brain cell would have either: (a) posted that question in Accounting & Legal, or (b) Just****inggooggledit.

Basically somebody has checked that a chartered accountant knows what they are doing, while the other guy may be blagging it all the way, which is not great since he isn't liable if he fecks up, you are!!

Yeh. Blaggers that about sums them up.

...ah means they're "Certified"

Accountants.

You see there are Chartered Accountants and Certified

Accountants

This a bit like the difference between a Doctor and A Nurse or an Engineer or a Technician.
