Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The CPA should escalate the issue by discussing it with higher levels of management within their firm. This shows that the CPA is dedicated to maintaining their independence and upholding ethical standards. Contacting the AICPA or HR should be a last resort and finding a new position at another firm should not be necessary if the issue can be resolved internally.
