The SRA Regulatory and Compliance Spring Update 2026 provides a comprehensive overview of the latest regulatory updates affecting law firms, compliance officers and Reporting Accountants. As the landscape of SRA regulatory and compliance continues to evolve, firms must stay informed of developments impacting the Accounts Rules, accountant’s reports, and governance structures. This webinar forms part of our structured SRA training, SRA compliance courses, and professional legal training programme designed to support effective regulatory and compliance management.
The session examines the SRA’s latest position on accountant’s reports, payment of disbursements and the authorisation of compliance officers, together with proposed changes to law firm sales, purchases and mergers. It also provides detailed analysis of the proposed transfer of AML supervision from the SRA and other legal regulators to the FCA, alongside forthcoming amendments to the Money Laundering Regulations and wider UK AML legislation, including changes to sterling thresholds and developments concerning digital ID under the Anti Money Laundering Regulations UK framework.
In addition, the webinar explores emerging themes in supervision, governance and firm culture, supporting better management outcomes and employee wellbeing. Delivered as part of our compliance training courses, compliance courses, and specialist AML courses, this update is essential training for solicitors, COLPs, COFAs and Reporting Accountants seeking high-quality SRA CPD and authoritative insight into current regulatory and compliance developments.
