Content of Course

Many firms hold a Designated Professional Body (DPB) licence, yet this remains a frequent area of noncompliance during ICAEW Practice Assurance visits. In our experience, this often stems from a lack of understanding across the team about what a DPB licence covers- and, equally importantly, the services that cannot be provided under it. 

This course covers: 

• What a DPB licence is and the types of work it permits 
• Common service lines and clarity on which services can and cannot be offered under a DPB licence 
• The documentation and procedures required to remain compliant 
• How to prepare effectively for a DPB visit 
• Common issues identified by the QAD and how to avoid them
