An Accountant's Guide to the New Solicitors Accounts Rules

Introduction

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) has made several changes to the SRA Accounts Rules over the last few years and the latest wave of changes came into effect on 25 November 2019.

Historically, the rules have been notorious for their complexity and prescriptive nature but the new rules have been significantly condensed and have become more flexible in their approach. In addition, some of the date-sensitive requirements have been removed.

This webinar will guide you through the changes.
