Problem
A nonaudit client requests assistance of J. Bacon, CPA, in the installation of a local area network. Bacon had no experience in this type of work and no knowledge of the client's computer system, so he obtained assistance from a computer consultant. The consultant is not in the practice of public accounting, but Bacon is confident of his professional skills. Because of the highly technical nature of the work, Bacon is not able to review the consultant's work.
Would this be a violation of the AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct? If so, what section would this appear under?
This is an accounting question, I am in an accounting class and is trying to find out if the scenario above is a violation of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) rules. So, is the the CPA in violation? and what section of the AICPA this violation fall under?
