"Being useless" is not exactly very specific, is it? I assume you can quote an example of why the accountant failed to provide advice specific to you as a contractor that he would have learned from the Accreditation training.
If he's just generally disorganised or incompetent, that's not part of the PCG Accreditation. And on that point, you can diss him for being a useless accountant but not for being a useless PCG Accredited Accountant; all that does is unfairly devalue the scheme itself..
Or is this just another opportunistic "Let's knock the PCG for being hopeless" post?

No. Not knocking the PCG at all. Im a member and think they're excellent.
Just pointing out what you said that PCG accreditation is no indicator to how good an accountant they are. Perhaps my mistake was assuming he knew what he was doing because he was accredited but blatantly he did not.
Personally, I know PCG say on their website that any accreditation is not a recommendation but I cant help thinking that PCG are going to cause themselves problems with this. Obviously, in my case, the fella passed the accreditation thing which makes me wonder how hard it is to pass?

It's not that easy, but generally accountants are quite good at assimilating detail information: have you seen Tolley's lately?
The point about the perceived value of the Accreditation has been picked up and is being looked at. After all, being good at IR35 is damn all use if you can't fill out a CT100 accurately and don't have a reminder process for your clients.
