Trust account audits

...for solicitors and real estate agencies.

In your firm do you know what is going on with your firm's trust account and whether or not you are in compliance with all of the rules, regulations and guidelines?

Have you asked yourself the following questions:

  • Do you really know what is going on with your firm's trust account?
  • How well do you really know your fellow partners and co-workers?
  • Will you be able to sleep easy at night?

How we can help you

We have considered these questions and more. As a result we offer tailor made assurance services. In addition to reporting to you at the end of each of our agreed visits, you will also be able to:

  • Work with our professionals who have a good knowledge of trust account practices and are available to give useful advice
  • Have someone to turn to should a problem with the trust account arise; such as being unable to reconcile the trust account or being uncertain how to treat certain transactions
  • Have someone who can provide training for your staff in trust account procedures. This is particularly relevant should you need to replace your existing trust accountant
  • Receive advice on changes to trust account rules, regulations and guidelines and how they may affect your practice
  • Draw on our experience as auditors of other trust accounts which enables us to advise on systems and procedures that may be better suited to your practice.
