The role of the COFA has become more demanding in the last four years since the SRA Accounts Rules were updated. This live training aims to tackle the most important day-to-day issues and will provide you with a guide to the high-risk areas you may encounter.

Expert speaker, Luke Dickinson, will provide a look into the world of being a COFA in the legal industry. As an expert on the Rules, he advises COFAs almost every week on Accounts Rules compliance.

He will also share his experiences with running an SRA Accounts Rules audit department.
