As a profession, accounting is broken up into two brackets: financial and managerial. Financial accounting is concerned with the preparation of financial performance statements. Businesses may or may not show investors and customers these statements in the future. On the other hand, managerial accounting is concerned with a business’s or person’s present finances for planning purposes. Managerial accountants analyze finances so that all financial decisions are well-informed.
Accounting malpractice occurs when an accountant makes an error or deviates from the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) or Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS), negatively impacting you and your finances. Errors that the average accountant would not reasonably make and unintentional deviations from GAAP or GAAS are simple negligence. Gross negligence encompasses more significant errors like intentional deviations from GAAP or GAAS or the misrepresentation of financial records to deceive another party.
To establish an accounting malpractice claim, the plaintiff will need to prove their accountant owed a duty to them, neglected that duty, and harmed them in the process.
Common forms of accounting malpractice include:
The State of Florida allows victims of accounting malpractice two years to pursue legal action, so it is important to speak to an attorney as soon as possible. Don’t procrastinate or delay the pursuit of legal action because the deadline appears far away. Legal proceedings take time. Lawyers will need to gather evidence and spend time planning how to approach the case effectively to build the strongest case.
Accounting malpractice can be not only expensive but also disappointing, given that most people who hire accountants do so to avoid financial mistakes. This violation of trust compounded with financial trouble can have a large negative impact on a person or business.
