FAQ
Do I need a specific auditing app already installed?
No. Labs use sample ledgers and export patterns common to most trust platforms. If your firm already runs a financial auditing app for legal trust account oversight, bring a sanitized export and we will map the exercises to your fields.
Is this a certification program?
It is a practice curriculum with completion notes for your learning record. It is not a government license or bar certification.
What is a real limitation of this course?
We do not replace your bank’s clearing rules or your jurisdiction’s formal trust accounting regulations. Teams that arrive without any sub-ledger history will spend the first module on data hygiene before deeper reconciliation drills feel useful.
Can partners attend only the final modules?
Yes — the Partner Sign-Off Briefing extracts modules 04–06. Full Trust Ledger Custody is recommended for staff who post and reconcile daily.
