This course is designed for experienced finance staff, COFAs, finance partners and managing partners who have overall responsibility for compliance with the SRA Accounts Rules.
The half day course will include a discussion of the 2019 Accounts Rules, the underlying principles of protecting client money and will also explore all of the relevant guidance that the SRA has released to support understanding and application of the rules.
The course will also include an overview of the 2011 Accounts Rules which many senior team members will have spent much of their professional life working with, and will look at how, although much of the prescriptive detail has been removed from the new rules, the principles and key definitions still apply. We will also consider the key areas where the regulation is different and how firms can ensure they remain compliant.
The course will look at the key financial systems and controls that firms should have in place, the role of the COFA in implementing and monitoring these controls and how to get ‘buy in’ from the rest of the team.
Ian will also explore the current SRA hot topics that all senior team members should be aware of, including provision of prohibited banking facilities, financial stability indicators and third party managed accounts.
