The Legal Risk Score of a Accountant Letter of Engagement Template is Low
Our legal team have marked this document as low risk considering:
- The document limits the accountant's liability for losses, damages, costs, and expenses to those resulting solely from their negligence or default, potentially leaving the client exposed to broader risks not covered by this scope.
- The engagement can be terminated by the accountant with relatively short notice under several conditions including non-payment or perceived conflicts of interest, which may leave the client needing to find alternative services quickly.
- The document specifies that oral, draft, or interim advice should not be relied upon, and only written advice or final reports are definitive, which could lead to misunderstandings or miscommunications during the engagement.
