Course description
The new Accounts Rules amount to only 13 rules over 6 pages and no longer give as much guidance as to how to comply with the trickier elements. But the fact that the rules no longer say much does not alter the basic law, the basic jurisprudence of the Courts and the Legal Ombudsman and there is no real expectation that much need change in the light of the new rules.
Steady as she goes, would seem to be the main theme, as recent SRA resources would suggest. However, the rules do allow some flexibility and this live broadcast session will discuss what has changed, what has not and what the expectations will be of the regulators and the external accountants.
Presented by Trevor Hellawell, Solicitor and legal training and management consultant. Be sure to join Trevor in our virtual classroom.
