The solicitors' accounts regulations manual has been developed to enable the reporting accountant to provide the report required under the Solicitors' Accounts Regulations 1998 (SAR).

The manual includes:

Guidance notes - that summarise the requirements of the Solicitors' Accounts Regulations and the problems they present. They include the reporting requirements of SAR and guidance on the use of the work programmes.

A work programme - that consists of a planning section, a completion section and five sections of suggested tests. Normal procedures relating to controlling and recording the work should be applied.

Accounting, tax and other services.
This section does not deal with the accounts preparation work etc. undertaken for the solicitor. This will not differ from the same services provided to other unincorporated businesses and normal procedures should be followed. At the planning stage the additional work required by this manual should be dovetailed with other planned work for maximum efficiency.

The manual costs £195 (£145*).

You can enjoy peace of mind by subscribing to our updating service, which provides you with the assurance that your manual will be updated as needed on a timely basis. The annual update fee is £50 (£45*)
