Kimball, a partner in a one-office firm, inherits 15 shares of Spotless Housekeeping
Services stock. The stock has a market value of $25 per share; there is a ready market
for them; and there are 300,000 shares outstanding. Spotless is an audit client of the
firm, and Kimball does no work or consulting for Spotless engagements.
Which of the following is CORRECT regarding Kimball receiving this stock and
maintaining the firm's independence with Spotless?
As long as Kimball does not work on the engagements for Spotless, nothing need be done. If he works on the
engagements for Spotless, then the shares must be promptly sold to preserve the firm's independence.
Since the shares are worth only $375 and they were inherited, nothing need be done.
If Kimball transfers the shares to a blind trust where he is the beneficiary, independence with Spotless will not
be impaired.
The shares must be sold within 30 days of their receipt.
