Accountancy refers to an act of recording, classifying and summarizing the business transactions,
balancing of accounts, drawing conclusions and integrating the results thereof.
For all reasonable reasons, an advocate must maintain accounts to keep a track of the incomes
earned and expenses incurred towards earning the income. Applying this concept to the legal
profession, an advocate needs to necessarily account for fees due and receivable against every
client and also to record expenditure incurred purely towards his efforts on individual
matters. Proper auditing by Chartered Accountants may also be fruitful in case of large legal
concerns.
