Huddart are a member of the ICAEW (the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales). The ICAEW was granted a Royal Charter by Queen Victoria in 1880, giving its members the right to use the designation “chartered accountant.”
The Institute currently has over 1.8 million members across the world. Their vision is to be acknowledged as a leading global accountancy and finance profession so people can do business with confidence and trust.
The ICAEW ensures that what we do on behalf of our clients maintains high standards of practice and professional conduct. We believe that this is one of the key differences we have to many others.
