The 2020 Annual Compliance Review Scheme is an independent and cost effective solution for busy firms.

 “Compliance in a busy practice has become even more complicated recently with the advent of Practice Assurance and the Proceeds of Crime Act. In addition to requiring a DPB and Audit compliance review, firms must now review POCA systems, client money and now Practice Assurance.” 
Ian Fletcher, Managing Director of 2020 Group

ICAEW annual returns will now coincide with your PII renewal date so you may want to change your Audit and DPB review dates to one month before the annual return date.

At 2020, we believe accountants should do what they do best – service their customers and not get bogged down in the details of compliance review requirements – let us do that!

We are delighted to introduce the 2020 review team, recruited to provide members with a confidential and independent review service.
