Course Outline
Introduction
The SRA expects law firms to not only understand the Accounts Rules but also demonstrate compliance in practice. The firm’s COFA plays an essential role in managing these requirements.
This webinar will reflect on the style and substance of the Accounts Rules 2019 and the important decisions which must be made as to how to respond to them.
Expert speaker Tracey Calvert will explore major compliance issues such as the risks attached to mismanagement of people and procedures and the ongoing restriction on providing banking facilities.
Consideration will also be given to the lessons that can be learned from disciplinary decisions such as scrutiny of the use of client accounts for dubious purposes.
Whether you are the firm’s COFA, owner or are involved in a compliance, management or an accounting role, this webinar is essential viewing.
