Each of the following situations involves a possible violation of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct. For each situation, state the applicable section of the rules of conduct and whether it is a violation
A. Emrich, CPA provides tax services, management advisory services, and bookkeeping services and also conducts audits for same nonpublic client. Because the firm is small, the same person often provides all the services.
B. Franz Marteens is a CPA, but not a partner, with 3 years of professional experience with Roberts and Bachelor, CPAs. He owns 25 shares of stock in an audit client of the firm, but he does not take part in the audit of the client, and the amount of stock is not material in relation to his total wealth.
C. A nonaudit client requests assistance of M. Wilkenson, CPA, in the installation of a local area network. Wilkenson had no experience in thin type of work and no knowledge of the client’s computer system, so he obtained assistance from a computer consultant. The consultant is not in the practice of public accounting. But Wilkenson is confident of his professional skills. Because of the highly technical nature of the work, Wilkenson is not able to review the consultant’s work.
