Solicitor’s Trust Accounts – External Examinations

by Madden Partners / Saturday, 22 August 2015 / Published in News

March 31 is nearing and for solicitors, this means the financial year-end for trust accounts.

Receiving and holding trust money is subject to extra scrutiny as prescribed by The Law Society, to ensure that the money being held on behalf of clients is handled accordingly.

At this time, trust account external examinations need to be arranged to meet the lodgement date of May 31. The purpose of an external examination is to review and verify the operations of the trust account, including:

  • verification of the Law Practice Confirmation and Trust Money Account Statement
  • that record-keeping is in accordance with legal requirements
  • trust account operations represent a true and accurate reflection of the status of trust monies held by the firm.

Appointing an external examiner is an important part of the process. The examiner plays a crucial role in verifying the trust account operations meet relevant guidelines and legislation. They will also ensure that the External Examiner’s Report is lodged by May 31. There is no provision for an extension beyond this date, so it’s important to be prepared, organise early and elect an experienced examiner to guide you through the process.
