'If you are a practitioner, or a member of staff with financial responsibilities within law practices, acquire a copy of this concise and authoritative book!' Phillip Taylor, Richmond Green Chambers
Product Description
On 6 October 2011 the biggest change to law firm regulation in decades will come into effect with the introduction of the SRA Handbook. Significant changes have been made to the SRA Accounts Rules, a key part of the SRA Handbook that outlines the requirements in place to protect client money. Staff with financial responsibilities within solicitors' practices will need to prepare in advance of implementation on 6 October to ensure compliance with the revised Rules. The fully updated 12th Edition of the Solicitors' Accounts Manual provides the text of the Rules, taking account of key changes made since June 2009 including: - the stipulated appointment of a new role, the Compliance Officer for Finance and Administration (CoFA) - the requirement for firms to have a written policy on the payment of interest to clients to ensure fair and reasonable procedures - clearer delineation between mandatory and explanatory guidance notes - the use of electronic signatures for withdrawals from client accounts and the signing and delivery of bills - greater emphasis on proper governance and the safe-keeping of clients' money - the need for firms to have appropriate systems and controls in place for withdrawals from client accounts - permission for firms to obtain and retain electronic copies of bank statements rather than relying on paper statements - the move from reconciliation every 14 weeks to every 5 weeks. Reflecting the advent of alternative business structures (ABSs), the Rules emphasise that their application is required for activities that are regulated by the SRA.

THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SOLICITORS UNDER THE SRA ACCOUNTS RULES 2011
An appreciation by Phillip Taylor MBE and Elizabeth Taylor of Richmond Green Chambers
Since repeal of the Solicitors'Accounts Rules 1998 on 6th October 2011, significant changes have been put in place which affect all practitioners. Enter Law Society Publishing, which can always be relied upon to produce the definitive guide to the new regulatory environment; in this case, the `Solicitors' Accounts Manual' now it its twelfth edition. Certainly in view of the radical changes to professional requirements in relation to the handling of client money, this book from the Solicitors Regulation Authority is nothing less than indispensable.
The book focuses on the amendments which have been made following the introduction of outcomes-focused regulation (OFR), which, as pointed out in the introduction, features ten high level Principles, all of which are mandatory, and on which all aspects of regulation are based, including the Accounts Rules. Offered as a key part of this manual, these are provided in Part 2.
The Principles of course, are in line with the many changes of which the manual takes account, from guidance regarding the use of electronic communications - e.g. bank signatures and electronically transmitted bank statements - to the most fundamental principle of all, which we quote: `greater emphasis on proper governance and the safe-keeping of clients' money', or as exemplified in Rule 1, `the overarching objective to keep client money safe.'
If you are a practitioner, or a member of staff with financial responsibilities within a law practices, you should definitely acquire a copy of this concise and authoritative book.
