This CLE course will guide counsel in responding to external auditor inquiries
concerning their client's litigation, claims and assessments, and related
financial reporting and disclosures. The panel will explain best practices for
providing information regarding "pending or overtly threatened" legal claims in
audit response letters and updates without compromising the client's privileges
and confidentiality.


DESCRIPTION

Accountants conducting external audits of a company's financial statements and
related disclosures must ask the company for information about "pending or
overtly threatened" legal matters, including litigation and government
investigations. However, the longstanding ABA Treaty between the legal and
accounting professions contemplates that attorneys providing this information
will limit their discussion of these matters to protect attorney-client
privilege and the company's litigation position.

In recent years, auditors have pushed for information from attorneys beyond the
ABA Treaty, and counsel must deal with more complex issues in their responses to
audit letters. When responding to auditors, counsel must act carefully and
strategically. This includes an internal inquiry to determine what to disclose
in the response, setting a mutually agreed-upon dollar amount threshold for
materiality, and including a confidentiality clause in the audit engagement
letter.

Listen as our authoritative panel discusses recent trends in audit response
letters and the complicated legal issues counsel must navigate in determining
what to disclose in their responses.
