When it becomes necessary for an accounting firm to terminate a client relationship, it is important to memorialize this action in a confirming letter to the client. A letter provides written evidence of when the resignation occurred and instructions to the client regarding needed follow-up on tax, accounting, and other matters about which the firm previously advised the client. The letter should be factual. It should document when services ended, any outstanding issues regarding work in process, fees owed to the CPA firm, client records, and items requiring follow-up or completion by the client. In most situations the termination should become effective as of the date of the letter.
