SRA releases new SRA Accounts Rules guidance
On 4 July, the SRA released the first of its long promised guidance notes to support the forthcoming regulatory changes and the brand new SRA Accounts Rules.
Covering areas such as firm authorisation, operation of client accounts and joint accounts, accounting records, Accountants Reports and Third Party Managed Accounts (TPMAs), it is one of the largest information releases from the SRA in a single day in recent memory.
