Case B
You just passed the CPA board exam and ranked as top 1. You don't have any experience in
accounting practice. A client comes to you for management advisory and tax consultancy, and audit
engagement purposes. Will you accept the engagement? Why or why not?
I won’t accept the engagement because even though I am ranked top 1, with no experience, I
can’t help my client with the abilities that I have at the moment. Even though I want to help my
client, I do not know what to say and recommend to him.
