The SRA expects that all members of the legal profession and their staff follow and maintain certain professional standards. To maintain an informed knowledge, you must also undertake training on a regular basis. Some of this training could be in the SRA’s Account Rules, why not do so in 2025?
Your reporting accountants, when conducting your client account audit with regard to the SRA Account rules, are looking at how your practice has decided to apply these rules, whether they protect client monies, and how you have followed the internal procedures you have in place. Renewal of knowledge can therefore be a useful way to review your internal rules, which should be done on a regular basis or, in light of substantial changes within the firm.
This half day presentation looks at the SRA Account rules and areas of current concern within the SRA. Such areas as residual balances, use of client funds, acting as a banker, and billing. Although the changes to Rules 4 and 10 have, for now been postponed, details of the proposals will also be included.
The presenter, Linda Lambert, has been in cashiering for over 35 years as a sole cashier up to practice manager and has a wealth of practical experience to draw upon. Questions are positively encouraged and the material includes scenarios drawn from the legal press to illustrate certain points.
This is a practical course which looks at the application of the rules as much as the wording of the rules. Ideal for legal cashiers, fee earners, Cofa’s, managing partners!
