Umbrella Company UK has successfully passed our annual FCSA compliance review. Having undergone a series of assessments, we’ve successfully proven we remain fully compliant with HMRC rules and regulations, and we’re committed to providing our clients with a first-rate service. Please keep reading and find out more about our renewed FCSA accreditation.
The Freelancer and Contractor Services Association (FCSA)
The FCSA is the UK’s leading professional body committed to ensuring the supply chain of temporary workers is compliant with HMRC’s rules and UK tax law. Since it was founded in 2007, the FCSA’s accreditation has quickly become the benchmark amongst stakeholders in the temporary worker marketplace. By obtaining the prestigious accreditation, contractor accountants and umbrella companies have proven they operate compliantly and that all of their internal processes are above board. Most importantly, to be awarded FCSA membership, accountants and payroll providers must prove they adhere entirely to the FCSA’s Codes of Compliance.
Passing the annual FCSA compliance review
Once an umbrella company achieves FCSA accreditation, the membership process doesn’t stop there. Every year, providers must undergo a thorough compliance review to ensure they continue to operate compliantly in entirely in accordance with the FCSA’s strict Codes of Compliance. In the past, the FCSA hasn’t hesitated in stripping non-compliant providers of their membership. As a result, everyone at Umbrella Company UK is delighted to have passed the annual audit with no problems whatsoever.
Tom Edwards, Operations Director at Umbrella Company UK, said:
“Passing our annual FCSA compliance review is an outstanding achievement for everyone at Umbrella Company UK. Without doubt, the FCSA’s accreditation is the most respected in the industry, and this is because organisations are meticulously reviewed from top to bottom.
From the moment we launched Umbrella Company UK, obtaining FCSA accreditation was our priority. It’s no secret that many agencies and temporary workers will only consider using an FCSA accredited accountant or umbrella company. This is excellent because they’re as committed to compliance as we are.
FCSA accreditation effectively puts a big stamp of approval on our service, which has reassured stakeholders in the supply chain that we’re compliant and that we have our employees best interests at heart.
I want to thank the FCSA for their continued efforts to ensure the supply chain of temporary workers is compliant, and I look forward to continuing to work with them long into the future.”
