The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) suggests the first step is speak to your accountant about this issue. If this doesn't resolve the issue, then put your complaint in writing asking for a response in 28 days. If this does not solve the issue, then you can complain directly to the ICAEW, so long as your accountant is registered with the body.
The ICAEW will need copies of any relevant documents, such as letters, as it may not be able to help without evidence of the problem. You can fill in an online complaint form on its website, or send details by email, or post.
If the complaint regards a criminal matter, then you need to contact the police, or other relevant authorities, as soon as possible. You should also inform the ICAEW you reported an issue for investigation.
