Course Details
As a reporting accountant engaged with solicitor clients you sit at the heart of the profession's regulatory framework. The Solicitors Accounts Regulations 2023 came into operation on 1 July 2023 and have reshaped how solicitors handle client moneys, maintain their accounting records and how reporting accountants discharge their duties. This session focuses on what those changes mean in practice for your current reporting cycle.
Lindsay Webber will cover the following topics during this webinar:
- Overview of the Solicitors Accounts Regulations 2023 and the key changes from the 2014 Regulations
- Handling of client moneys and the most common breaches encountered in practice
- The reporting accountant’s duties, engagement scope and evidence requirements
- Completing the revised reporting accountant’s report and supporting documentation
- Identifying, categorising and reporting breaches to the Law Society
By attending this session you will have a clear understanding of the revised regulatory framework, your obligations as a reporting accountant and the practical steps needed to complete a compliant engagement under the 2023 Regulations.
This session will be of particular interest to reporting accountants engaged to report on solicitors’ firms in Ireland.
