Details

Accounts for Solicitors is a practical introduction to a subject that all practising solicitors need to understand. The text is divided into two parts: the first explains fundamental accounting concepts to allow students to read and interpret end of year accounts, the second deals with the accounts of solicitors and, in particular, the need to account for a client’s money.

Written in simple, non-technical language, Accounts for Solicitors provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to this complex subject with worked examples, self-test sections and key learning points at the end of each chapter to help illustrate and reinforce the unfamiliar, and often difficult, concepts involved.

Part II of the book has been completely rewritten to take account of the new SRA Accounts Rules 2019 and the change from detailed and prescriptive Rules to a simpler system focusing on key principles.
