External Examiner Albury

An external examiner is a qualified professional registered with the Law Society of NSW who conducts independent examinations of a solicitor's trust account. This is a regulatory requirement under the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW) to ensure solicitors properly safeguard client funds and comply with trust account regulations, regardless of their location in NSW.

Under the Legal Profession Uniform Law (NSW), all solicitors and law practices that hold trust money must have their trust accounts externally examined at least once every financial year. The examination must be completed within 4 months of the end of the financial year (by 31 October).

Yes, we offer both on-site and remote examination services. Remote examinations are conducted via secure document transfer, allowing us to complete the examination efficiently without requiring an on-site visit. This is particularly convenient for practices in the Albury and Riverina region.

If our examination identifies any issues or non-compliance, we will discuss these with you and provide recommendations for rectification. Minor issues can often be resolved during the examination. Serious breaches must be reported to the Law Society of NSW as required by law.

Most standard examinations are completed within 10 business days from receipt of all required documents. The duration depends on the volume of transactions and the complexity of your trust account operations. We offer expedited services for urgent requirements.
