Description

Immigration accounting is a steadily growing additional service offering that qualifying accountants are taking up to grow their practices. 

This service offering falls within the ambit of Agreed-upon Procedures (AUP) engagements that must be guided by the recently revised International Standard on Related Services (ISRS) 4400. The role of accountants in this type of engagement is to perform an analysis of a foreign investor’s financial affairs with the aim of issuing them with a certificate that is required in a Business Visa application. The certificate is used by the Department of Home Affairs to determine if the applicant satisfies specific Business Visa requirements.
