Course Overview

Ambiguity in contract termination and final accounts is resolved against the party that drafted it. A contract governing final accounts that nobody administers is a document, not a control. Teams frequently over-invest in documenting the practice within legal and contractual practice and under-invest in testing it. The course gives participants a defensible structure for contract termination and final accounts and the judgement to adapt it. They leave able to brief senior management on this area of legal and contractual practice in terms that support a decision. The programme suits teams tackling final accounts together as readily as individuals attending alone. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of contract termination and final accounts is examined, not just described. Across sectors, teams that rehearse final accounts outperform teams that only plan it. Work concludes with a self-assessment of the practice within legal and contractual practice that participants can repeat annually.
