Florida Accounting Malpractice Attorneys
Accounting malpractice is defined as an instance where an accountant commits an error, omission or deviation from accounting principles that causes a negative outcome or financial loss for a client.
Accountants have an obligation to their clients to function within certain standards and exercise due care in preparing tax returns, reports and other financial documents. Clients have the right to expect that accountants offer fair and honest reporting and advise them properly regarding tax laws, for instance.
