Accounting Regulations Compliance Required for Practising Certificates

NOTICE TO ALL ATTORNEYS

Attorneys are hereby reminded that regulation 16 (6) empowers the Council to withhold the issue of a practising certificate to any attorney who fails to comply with regulation 16 (1) which requires every attorney to deliver to the Secretary of the Council an accountant’s report or declaration in respect of the preceding financial year.

This regulation will be enforced in respect of attorneys who seek a practising certificate for the coming calendar year commencing 1st January, 2019.

Attorneys who are in default with respect to the filing of an accountant’s report or declaration as required by regulation 16 of the Legal Profession (Accounts and Records) Regulations are therefore urged to immediately comply with the regulations failing which they run the risk of being unable to obtain a practising certificate for the year 2019.
