Lesson Outline


Do you require a practice run of the audit process of attorney trust accounts but don't have experience with the CaseWare Working Papers ATA template?

Do you have audit staff that need exposure to the audit of an attorney’s trust accounts?

Do you want to ensure that you’ve covered all the attorney legislation requirements as part of your audit scope, before issuing the audit report on such a high risk engagement?

Are you aware of IRBA's NEW 2019 Revised Guide and it's effect on attorney audits?

Then we have a training solution for you.

Attorneys’ Trust Account engagements are high risk and thereby require precision and sound knowledge of the legislation to avoid Rule infringement going unnoticed.

They key to a successful Attorneys’ Trust Accounts engagement is understanding what makes it unique, being familiar with the new Legal Practitioners Council Rules that govern the attorney profession upon which the audit opinion is based and acquainting one’s self with the new legislation being the Legal Practice Act, that took effect on 1 November 2018 and understanding it’s effect on the audit process.

This is a complete, up-to-date Attorneys’ Trust Account audit course aimed at helping you navigate real world audits.

During this session we get you / your trainees up to speed with:

• The relevant Legal Practice Act sections
• Legal Practitioners Council Rules
• The Revised IRBA Guide on Attorneys’ Trust Account Engagements,

As well as a practical case study where we:

o Consider how to determine a population for testing
o Discuss what the various sources of supporting documents are, that could be relevant when testing
o Address the planning and finalisation features of an audit
