Financial Accounting Courses

F1,F2 and F3 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.

F1  -  The Solicitors' Accounts Rules 1998 (1 day)
The course opens with an overview of all the Rules in such a way as to enable delegates to find their own way around them and dig out answers to everyday problems when needed. Working from the latest version of the Rules, there follows a detailed study of those Rules most important to accounts personnel on a daily basis, as well as the Procedures and Systems for compliance with them. Delegates will be advised on the various relatively small amendments to the Rules since 1998, and on how to keep up-to-date with new developments.

F2  -  Basic (Double Entry) Bookkeeping (1 day)
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.

F3  - VAT & Solicitors (1day)
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.
