SRA Accounts Rules – the essentials (21 January 2025, Online) | Event

Registration closing date: 15 January 2025

The Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) Accounts Rules set out the requirements for when firms (including sole practices) authorised by the SRA, receive or deal with money belonging to clients, including trust money or money held on behalf of third parties. The rules apply to all firms that the SRA regulate, including all those who manage or work within such firms.

Complimentary for Risk and Compliance and Leadership and Management Section Members.

Firms will need to have robust systems and controls in place to ensure compliance with these rules, and the nature of those systems must be appropriate to the nature and volumes of client transactions dealt with, and the amount of client money held or received.

Attend this online event to help avoid the common mistakes made by law firms, and gain insight in the essential practices you must be adhering to when it comes to the SRA Accounts Rules. You will have the chance to ask our expert speakers questions, and delegates should leave the session with peace of mind that you know what is required of you and your firm to remain compliant in this area.
