Comprehensive Inspection

The 15-Point IOLTA Health Check Breakdown

Our evaluation examines every critical touchpoint of your trust account to guarantee strict alignment with state bar requirements.

1. Reconciliation Integrity

  • ✓ 3-Way Matching: Bank balance = Trust Ledger = Individual Client Ledgers.
  • ✓ Reconciliation Recency: Verifying monthly statements are reconciled up to date.
  • ✓ Uncleared Transactions: Auditing old outstanding checks or deposits in transit.
  • ✓ Unadjusted Discrepancies: Identifying forced entries or unexplained journal adjustments.

2. Ledger & Sub-Ledger Safety

  • ✓ Negative Client Balances: Ensuring no client ledger shows an overdraft balance.
  • ✓ Inactive/Dormant Balances: Spotting forgotten client funds requiring disbursement.
  • ✓ Unallocated Funds: Resolving deposits not tied to a specific client matter.
  • ✓ Matter-Level Tracking: Ensuring multi-matter clients have isolated sub-ledgers.

3. Fee Transfers & Commingling

  • ✓ Earned Fee Timing: Verifying earned fees are moved to operating in a timely manner.
  • ✓ Credit Card Merchant Fees: Auditing CC processing fees to prevent trust account draining.
  • ✓ Bank Fee Allocations: Ensuring service charges hit operating, not trust accounts.
  • ✓ Direct Operating Transfers: Checking for proper invoicing prior to funds transfer.

4. Software Sync & Documentation

  • ✓ Software Integration Sync: Checking balance alignment between Clio/LeanLaw & QBO.
  • ✓ Audit Trail Logging: Verifying transaction editing logs and system user access.
  • ✓ Bar-Ready Archive Format: Ensuring monthly reconciliation packets meet state bar standards.
