This course is designed for finance staff with the day to day responsibility for compliance with the SRA Accounts Rules and is suitable for those who are new to the rules, as well as those more experienced staff members who need a refresher.
The course will include a detailed walkthrough of the new 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 2019 Accounts Rules removed most of the prescriptive detail that made up the 2011 (and prior) rules and, rather than taking a ‘one size fits all’ approach to regulation, they replaced the detail with a more flexible framework.
This new flexible approach has placed even greater emphasis on finance teams to ensure their financial controls are fit for purpose and client money is protected at all times, and so this course will also consider the key systems and controls that all well run firms should have in place to ensure compliance with the rules.
Ian will also discuss all of the most common breaches of the rules from his experience as a Reporting Accountant, and tips to help avoid them, as well as the SRA client money hot topics including the provision of banking facilities, billing for fees and disbursements, suspense accounts and dealing with residual balances.
