The Haines Watts Group consists of various firms in which Haines Watts Limited is a partner, member or shareholder, or firms controlled by such firms. Generally, “HW”, "Haines Watts" and "Haines Watts Group" refer to the network of member organisations, each of which is a separate and independent legal entity. Member organisations are not members of one legal partnership and are only liable for their own acts and omissions, and not those of each other.
The majority of these firms are not authorised under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, but because they are licensed by the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, are able to offer a limited range of investment services to clients if they are incidental and / or complementary to, or arise out of, the other professional services they have been engaged to provide.
It is Haines Watts Group policy to refer most investment business, excluding corporate finance work, to Independent Financial Advisers, authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. The Independent Financial Adviser will take full responsibility for compliance with the requirements of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.
