LCBF successfully defends accounting firm in AICPA investigation of alleged ethical impropriety

An accounting firm, represented by the firm, was accused of misrepresenting to clients that a particular accountant was an owner of the firm and the engagement member on their matters with the firm. LCBF successfully argued that, although the accountant and the firm had not signed a formal shareholder agreement evidencing that the accountant was an owner, the firm treated him as an owner and reported to the State of New York Department of Education that he was an owner. The LCBF team was led by Ron Joseph.
