Law Technology Today From the ABA Legal Technology Resource Center
Compared to a typical small business, the accounting requirements at law firms are unique. The penalties for violations are much worse than a slap on the wrist or even a big fine — accounting infractions can lead to disbarment. This area requires a “zero tolerance for error” policy in your firm and the knowledge to support it.

Learning Objectives:
– Identify what is unique about legal accounting
– Determine the three basics of IOLTA bookkeeping
