Didn't find your answer?

Supposing someone wanted to gift shares to their husband who is not a qualified accountant whilst the wife,who is FCCA, will own the majority.

Husband will not be a director. Ever. But does work in the business part time.

Why am I thinking ACCA would permit this as long as ACCA members own at least 75%?  But elsewhere I read about it only being a concern, ie a bar, if non qualifed spouse is a director - ie they wont allow that?

The ACCA member(s) must have majority shareholding.

Why not speak to the ACCA?
