FIDELITY FUND CERTIFICATE (FFC)
What is the Fidelity Fund Certificate (FFC)?
The FFC is a mandatory requirement for all practicing legal practitioners who are practising for their own account (trust account) in South Africa. It's a certificate issued by the Legal Practitioner's Fidelity Fund (LPFF) that serves as a safeguard against financial losses caused by misappropriation or theft of Trust Funds by a legal practitioner or member(s) of a law firm/practice.
