Originally posted by lucyclarityumbrella View PostThe FCSA accreditation is a simple way for the agencies / end clients to assume compliance with HMRC guidance. Nowadays I can guarantee that the number of compliance questionnaires received by umbrellas is pretty much zero, whereas previously it used to be with pretty much every new engagement!
Anyone who is not accredited can still be compliant, but trying to get that through to some agencies / end clients is like hitting your head against a brick wall. For those not accredited it is causing "difficulties"!
Kind regards

Plus the FCSA management need their gold plated offices..
How on earth do they expect to get any new business if only accredited members are being put forward so the rest can't get the numbers to be accredited. Just stupid.
I hope that is a 35k lifetime membership so they go bust next year.Leave a comment:
