Manual bookkeeping

The Law Society of Scotland is providing a full-day training course on manual bookkeeping. This course is targeted at those who are responsible for ensuring compliance with the Accounts Rules within an organisation or who have recently started up their own firm. Comprehensive application of Accounts Rules and knowledge of compliance regulations are two of the greatest responsibilities for every organisation or firm. It is vital that these are understood to ensure that the required books and records are accurate, and that systems and procedures are kept up to date.

Led by The Law Society of Scotland’s Financial Compliance team, this course will provide an insightful understanding of the Society’s Accounts Rules and basic record keeping.
