The 'other/new' accountant will have to carry out an anti-money laundering check on you before they may act/advise on your behalf.

Usually they would also write the the 'current/ex' accountant asking if there are any known reasons why they should not act on your behalf. This is part of professional conduct with the Accounting bodies.

If you are happy to pay for the service then you can get a second accountant to do whatever you want.

Something you might want to do. Accountants don't always provide you with a worksheet showing how the capital allowances and tax were calculated. There is no harm in you asking to see these calculations.

Another accountant view my accounts?

Good morning all.
Is it safe to send my company's xls to another accountant to view? I am looking for the new accountant to review the figures and let me know how much corporate tax I should be paying. Then I will be comparing it to the figures that my current accountant gave me. Obviously I don't know the new accountant, is there any risk of him having a look at my company's ingoings and outgoings?
Thank you
