Question

While there are significant taxation advantages to incorporation,the principal advantage of incorporation-limited liability of the shareholders-does not isolate professionals from liability for professional misconduct.For example,an accountant who injures his client by failing to act as the ordinarily prudent accountant would act has liability to his client,despite the incorporation of the accountant's business.
