  Law Office Accounting 101  (LOA 101) Instructor: Aida Holmes, Office Administrator, Victory Square Law Offices and Dom Bautista, Executive Director with Law Courts Center

  Due to the increasing concerns about money laundering and the role of lawyers, staff and firms, I am returning to deliver this course with senior firm administrator Aida Holmes. This is a survey of the law office accounting landscape set within the milieu of firm regulations, AML, CIV. How do these intersect with trust accounting? (#Dom'sBack!)
