The small print
The service is primarily for ICAS members and member firms. Public requests are on a discretional basis.
If you are an ICAS student, queries on course material should be sent to the Education Support team. Technical matters relating to your employer or a work engagement should be escalated to your line management.
Our preference is for all queries (except for Regulation) to be logged using our Technical Helpdesk. However, if you have a general practice or insolvency question and need to speak with a member of our team you can also call 0131 347 0249.
If you have an ethical query (not related to audit or assurance work) you can also call our Ethical Helpline on 0131 347 0271 or email us.
We also offer the ICAS Ethics Buddy Service which enables Members with an ethical dilemma, where deemed appropriate, to have confidential, informal, discussions with an experienced Member in order to explore their issue and assist them in considering how they might approach their dilemma.
Our accounting and auditing and tax teams cannot provide opinions or offer advice but can help to signpost relevant guidance and information to enable members to form their own judgements.
