Client liquidation

Didn't find your answer?

I have received a letter from a firm of Inso;vency Practitioners regarding the potential lquidation of a client, and they have asked me for copies of the draft accounts I have prepared. As I have not been paid for these, or work done previously, am I entitled to refuse to provide this information?

Send them a letter saying you will be more than happy to provide them once your fees are settled along an interim bill for these accounts and copies any outstanding invoices.

If they are only potential liquidators then you can certainly reply as BigBadWolf suggests, with the proviso that you first need to get written authority from the client to say anything to them at all.

If the company was in liquidation and they were the appointed liquidators, as may be the case one day soon, you would have much less wriggle room.
