Why It's Important to Consult a Lawyer When Accounting Violations Are Detected
Accounting violations can have both financial and criminal consequences. Consulting a specialized lawyer helps:
- Minimize risks of tax penalties, criminal liability, and management disqualification
- Properly classify violations: error, negligence, or fraud
