To determine
Describe the important characteristics of the organization and conduct of CPA firms that allows them for fulfilling the social functions competently and independently.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
The following are three important characteristics:
- Organizational form: To avoid the employer-employee relationship with the clients the CPA firms are existing as the separate entities. This firm employs one person as a professional staff of sufficient size for preventing one client from constituting an important portion of its total income and thereby endangering the independence of the firm.
- Conduct: For providing a broad range of expertise, continuing education and to promote the professional independent attitude and competence, the CPA employs a professional staff for the particular groups.
- Peer Review: This helps in evaluating the performance of CPA firm in order to keep the competence high.
