SRA Guidance Accountants Report

Crispin Passmore, SRA Executive Director for Policy, said: “This is the second phase of a project aimed at making our regulation more proportionate and targeted. The changes continue our work to remove the obligation for firms deemed low risk to go through the reporting process.

“For those firms that still have the obligation to obtain a report, the changes strengthen the reports by giving accountants more scope to advise firms on how they handle client money. That will help clients and build confidence in law firms. We’ve published the guidance to help firms and their accountants get the most out of the changes we’ve made.”
