Hi Forum Members,

I have a question of my accountant from past who was the accountant for my private company can be referee for the citizenship application?

Per AN form, a referee should declare that:
• they are not a relative, solicitor or agent of the applicant

I know Accountants are in the approved professionals list but not sure if that applies to ex-accountant.

Any advice would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Ankit

If retired but still a paying member of the regulatory body for accountants then yes. If not, then no as then they are not practicing accountant.

Thanks for your reply CR001.

Sorry! I meant to ask if the accountant that I had when I was contracting. The accountant is still active

Yes, as long as they have known you for at least 3 years. It does not have to be someone you work with.

Thanks CR001. You are always very helpful.
