Attorneys Trust Audits & Bookkeeping - Guide on submission of reports to LPC
Presenters : Godfrey Chokoe CA(SA)
Overview
The Legal Practice Council (LPC) is a regulatory body for legal practitioners such as attorneys and advocates.
Right from the first day of opening a legal practice, legal practitioners immediately face the tedious and taxing administrative part of their practice which they either barely understand or have little time and resource for. This however, is a legal requirement that involves the balancing of their trust account books, monthly accounting and before they know it, submission of audit reports to the LPC.
This webinar demystifies these legal practitioner responsibilities through practical guidance and explanations that make compliance easier and less complex.
Godfrey Chokoe CA(SA) presented this on 24 August 2021 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm where he gives guidance and explanations on compliance with the LPC's requirements for every legal practice.
