I feel as though he should have never ignore the board let alone refusing return of the client that you’re working with records.

As we all know, with any law, rule, or guideline there are loopholes and people that try to work their way around the rules or blatantly not follow them. In the state of South Carolina, there are many people and firms that violate the Code. When the Code is violated, the state board will hold a hearing and decide on the matter and issue a penalty.

As this third party it is their duty to oversee financial transactions to ensure that the statements of not only the company, but also its’ supporting companies, correctly correspond and match up to the position, results and cash-flow of the clientele. This general quota outlining a public accountants job description is not the same for a private accountant. The main difference between a public and private accountant is that unlike the public and its handle on a multitude of accounts, a private accountant specializes with a certain company or field. With this specialization, a private accountant tackles setting up a system that records the transactions within the business. The recordation of the transactions is then generated into statem...
