In addition to the rules prohibiting lawyers from receiving large cash amounts, meaning $7,500 or more, we have a requirement that they keep a cash transactions record. As I mentioned, we have an audit regime that will review the books and records of lawyers. Lawyers are subject to extensive bookkeeping and record-keeping requirements. They must file an annual report every year with every law society. They are required to report the misconduct of another lawyer, which could include, for example, notice of criminal activity or other such conduct.
The rules of professional conduct or codes of professional conduct of each law society will govern the ethical behaviour of lawyers. If lawyers breach those codes, they may be subject to disciplinary action, which includes sanctions from a fine up to disbarment. Also, lawyers are prohibited from engaging in advice to clients that would further a criminal act. And they are guarded against becoming the dupes or tools of unscrupulous clients. These are things that are basically verbatim in our rules of conduct, in every law society.
