You’re reviewing AR aging for a CPA client. One customer shows a $1,200 credit and $1,200 debit posted within 2 days. Upon investigation, you find a refund was issued but never deposited. What should be your action?
A tax advisory client has 5 partners sharing profits in a 4:3:2:1:1 ratio. If the firm earned $660,000 net this year, how much will the third partner receive?
