CTAPP Compliance Audits What Attorneys Need to Know About Their Obligations

This program serves as a guide to the California State Bar’s newly implemented CTAPP compliance audits, and the obligations attorneys must fulfill to comply with CTAPP rules. Attorneys will learn how the audit process works under Rules 1.15(d), 2.6, and 9.8.5, mandatory requirements related to record production and independent accounting review, and how to navigate their ethical duties relating to client trust accounts and client communications. The program will also address privilege concerns, CPA audit requirements, and the risks attorneys face under this new enforcement framework.
