Under ASC 450-20-20, SAS 12 and FAS 5, auditors must inquire into potential loss situations, and issue letters to a client's attorney, requesting disclosures. This session addresses the controversial disclosures regarding attorney-client confidentiality and explores the differences. A goal towards the formation of adequate disclosures that do not breach attorney-client privilege will also be discussed. This event may be a rebroadcast of a live event and the instructor will be available to answer your questions during the event.

Major subjects

  • Loss contingency disclosures from attorney's viewpoint, including confidential disclosures
  • How the American Bar Association policy affects an attorney's answer
  • Problems with unasserted claims
  • When loss must be accrued and when it must only be disclosed
  • Communicating with a client's attorney to obtain the necessary information needed for the audit

Learning objective(s)

  • Compare and contrast how CPAs and attorneys look at loss contingencies with different points of view.
