These courses are essential basic training courses for all accounts personnel, as well as being a refresher for managers and supervisors who oversee the accounts function, and for Reporting Accountants.
The Solicitors' Accounts Rules (1 day) - course outlined on the "home" page
Basic (Double Entry) Bookkeeping (1 day) - available as an in-house course
In this age of computers it is vital
that the user is the expert instructing the machine and not the other way
around. Accounts staff need to understand Double Entry bookkeeping - a
requirement of the Solicitors' Accounts Rules - in order to know what has
happened to the entries which have been posted. This practical training
uses typical Client and Office transactions to explain the principles of basic
bookkeeping. Delegates are also shown how to carry out a bank
reconciliation.
VAT & Solicitors (1day) -
available as an in-house course
Designed to take the mystery and fear out of VAT, this course commences with basic VAT concepts and includes aspects of special concern for solicitors. Some exceptions agreed for solicitors by HM Revenue & Customs are identified. Delegates will be shown ways of distinguishing between the various payments which are often confusingly all referred to as disbursements. Very few actually qualify for disbursements for VAT purposes as defined.
