Synopsis

The Government decided in summer 2010 that it would not introduce regulations about the accounting for leaseholders’ service charge monies.

ARMA, the Institute of Chartered Accountants for England and Wales (ICAEW), the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) and the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) cooperated to issue joint guidance on accounting for service charges.
