SRA Accounts Rules: The Changes & the Implications

With Darren Whelan

In November 2019, the SRA introduced a new briefer edition of the Accounts Rules, reducing 52 rules to just 13.

This session focuses on the changes and the implications of those changes, which allow more flexibility but also require law firms to make their own professional judgement and decisions on protecting client money. The training therefore has an emphasis on the practical application of the new rules, best practice to help law firms to remain compliant and will address issues that have emerged from the new rules/guidance that has been subsequently released.
