Introduction
Despite it being over a decade since the rules dealing with residual balances were first introduced, they continue to pose a major headache for firms.
A common source of breaches for the reporting accountants, it is unsurprising that residual balances remain a hot topic for the SRA.
During this webinar, expert speaker Ian Johnson will provide an insight into what recent SRA guidance means in practice.
He will also share his experiences from his years as a reporting accountant.

- How to deal with larger balances and making an application to the SRA
- What the SRA are likely to view as ‘reasonable steps’ to trace the owner of client money
- How to stay on the right side of the reporting accountant and avoid a qualified accountant’s report
