Haines Watts and The Haines Watts Group generally refer to the network of member organisations, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity. Each entity has signed a participation agreement with Haines Watts Limited, or is controlled by such a firm. Member organisations are not members of one legal partnership and are only liable for their own acts and omissions, and not those of each other.
The majority of these firms are not authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, but because they are licensed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, are able to offer a limited range of investment services to clients if they are incidental and / or complementary to, or arise out of, the other professional services they have been engaged to provide.
It is Haines Watts Group policy to refer most investment business, excluding corporate finance work, to Financial Advisors, authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. The Financial Advisor will take full responsibility for compliance with the requirements of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
This publication is designed for the general information of readers. The information represents Haines Watts Group’s present understanding of current and proposed legislation and HM Revenue and Customs practice. Whilst every effort has been made to ensure accuracy, information contained in this briefing may not be comprehensive and recipients should not act upon it without seeking professional advice from their usual advisor.
