Meaninf of letters after name

A friend`s accountant uses the following letters after his name: FCA (Com), FCPA, AFF, SWW. Does anyone know what any of them mean? The ICAEW says he is not a member.

hmm puzzling
I believe SWW is the Society of Will Writers, which is a self-regulatory body.

I thought the AFF was a skydiving qualification! but I doubt that's what it is here!

Meaning of FCPA
FCPA is a Fellow of the Corporation of Certified Public Accountants. They are based in Warrington (or Wigan - somewhere up north beginning with a W) and are not a Chartered body. Neither are they connected with the American CPA organisation but I do know some of their members and they do a good job.

Just a thought ...
How about asking the "accountant"?

I expect one of our Malaysian chums will be able to assist
They know all about letters. ;)

Google is no help - as no doubt you have already found - other than to turn up some very odd possibles for AFF & SWW.
