Previous accountant with an attitude problem

Posted by FirstTab PM | on Tue, 10/04/2012 - 10:30 3815 18 comments | report

I took on a client about 8 months ago. In the clearance letter I requested some information.

The previous accountant provided a detailed information in response to the clearance letter. However some key information is missing. This includes:

Debtors of £75K no break down of debtors
No bank rec or explanation of the difference between bank balance on bank statement and bank balance on the balance sheet.

I requested information on the above and response was "we have given you all the information, This is no longer a live client- best of luck"

The client is not able to respond to above queries. The previous bookeeping is in a mess.

I would appreciate any comments/views on handling this.
